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

To assess the healing of acute bilateral muscle injury in cases of bilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) after tendon graft removal. The study included 12 cases of bilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus and gracilis (STG) grafts. In the right knee, the STG graft was removed, and saline solution was applied; in the left knee, the graft was removed, and PRP was applied. Patients were evaluated using the visual analog scale, pre and postoperative isokinetic tests (5 months), and muscle area analysis. A slight difference in results was observed at 15 and 30 days on the PRP-treated side, but there was no variation in circumference and muscle strength. Due to the small sample size, the study will be continued to increase the number of cases, aiming for the publication of results.
