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

Treatment of complex and chronic wounds often remains a challenge for clinicians, carrying a severe impact on the wellbeing of patients and the health care system. Leukocyte-and Platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) is an autologous platelet product with regenerative properties that can be used to stimulate and accelerate wound healing. Its usage in oral surgery and dentistry is well established but evidence in urologic surgery is limited. We report two cases with extensive penile cutaneous defects after surgical debridement, treated with L-PRF technology and review the available literature regarding its utilization in the field of urology.
