1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe the inter- and intra-individual differences in the platelet concentration between blood and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation, assess intersubject differences considering demographic and anthropometric variables, describe PRP code distribution and analyse intrasubject variability. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using a single-centre patient database from November 2021 to November 2023. It included patients with musculoskeletal pathologies treated with PRP injections. Primary variables were demographic characteristics (sex, age, body mass index [BMI]) and platelet concentrations in blood and PRP during treatments. Secondary analysis focused on PRP code frequency distribution and intrasubject variability according to different coding systems. Results: Here, 686 patients met the inclusion criteria. PRP exhibited significantly higher platelet concentrations compared to blood (378.01 ± 136.25 × 10 Conclusion: Age, gender, BMI and intrasubject variations significantly affect PRP formulation, emphasizing the importance of addressing these variables for a more predictable, personalized and effective therapeutic approach. Level of Evidence: This is a retrospective study. Level IV.
