Effectiveness of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma for Androgenetic Alopecia: A Double-Center, Non-Controlled, Randomized Clinical Study in Vietnam.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in Vietnamese patients. Patients and Methods: A prospective, non-controlled clinical study was conducted on 41 patients (17 men and 24 women) diagnosed with AGA. PRP was prepared using a standardized double-spin centrifugation protocol and injected subdermally at affected scalp areas. Patients underwent three PRP sessions at four-week intervals. Results: PRP treatment significantly increased hair density from 40.76 ± 14.26 hairs/cm² at T0 to 66.00 ± 18.00 hairs/cm² at T3 (p < 0.05). The percentage of patients with a positive hair pull test decreased from 75.6% (T0) to 12.2% (T3) (p < 0.05). A moderate positive correlation was observed between platelet concentration and hair density improvement ( Conclusion: PRP is an effective and well-tolerated therapy for AGA, significantly improving hair density and reducing hair shedding.
