Comparative Study of Functional Outcome of Intra-articular Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma versus Corticosteroid in Treatment of Osteoarthritis of Knee.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Introduction: The entire joint structure is impacted by osteoarthritis (OA). The hands, knees, and hips are the joints that sustain the greatest injuries. Since OA is a prevalent illness worldwide and a leading cause of impairment in the elderly, doctors are constantly searching for efficient treatments to reduce pain and enhance symptoms so that patients can live better lives. Materials and Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study was conducted at the orthopedics outpatient department at Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, Kelambakkam. A total of 40 patients were enrolled in the study. WOMAC and LEQUESNE index scores were deployed to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients at baseline, 1st, 3rd, and 6th months. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 54.69 ± 2.15 and the majority of them belong to more than 50-60 years old, which is 16 (40%) participants. The mean WOMAC index scoring had a significant difference, with the P-value being significant (P < 0.05) measuring at 1st month, 3rd months, and during 6th months as 0.011, 0.026, and 0.002, respectively. The mean LEQUESNE index scoring had significant differences, with the P-value being highly significant (P < 0.005) for the 1st month, 3rd month, and during 6th months (P < 0.005). Conclusion: Intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection is considered safe, found to be more potential in alleviating pain and joint stiffness, and also provides better functional outcomes of the knee joint in patients with OA when compared to intra-articular corticosteroids.
