The Role of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Orthopedics: Where Do We Stand?
Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (i-PRF) has emerged as a promising tool in regenerative medicine, particularly in orthopedics, due to its unique biological properties and ease of preparation. i-PRF is an autologous platelet concentrate derived through a simple, anticoagulant-free centrifugation process, resulting in a liquid matrix enriched with fibrin, leukocytes, and growth factors. These components promote tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammatory responses, making i-PRF suitable for bone and cartilage repair as well as drug delivery systems. This review discusses the history, biological mechanisms, and clinical applications of i-PRF in orthopedics, highlighting its potential advantages over traditional platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Furthermore, we address the challenges and limitations of i-PRF, including drug stability, release control, and bioactive interactions, underscoring the need for further research to optimize its therapeutic efficacy.
