The effect of intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection on pain and lameness in dogs with osteoarthritis.
Review in Australian veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and progressive degenerative joint disease in dogs, leading to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and diminished quality of life. Conventional management strategies primarily aim to alleviate and palliate clinical signs of pain and reduced mobility. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an emerging regenerative therapy that has gained interest for its potential disease modifying effects, through modulating inflammation and promoting tissue repair. This paper provides a critical appraisal of current literature on the effectiveness of intra-articular injection of PRP compared to a placebo on the clinical outcomes of lameness and pain in dogs with OA. Findings from 7 studies indicate that current evidence supporting the effectiveness of PRP in reducing pain and lameness is weak. Further research in the form of large, randomised, blinded controlled clinical trials is required to further assess the efficacy of PRP.
