Post-operative Achilles Tendinopathy Following Surgical Repair of Achilles Tendon Rupture Treated With Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 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
Post-operative Achilles tendinopathy (AT) can cause persistent, debilitating posterior ankle pain. The optimal treatment for recalcitrant AT following surgical repair of Achilles tendon rupture has not been well-established. Conservative management includes early weight-bearing and mobilization with structured physical therapy (PT) and a progressive return to activity. Despite completion of conservative measures, symptoms may persist long after surgical repair. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to effectively treat painful MSK conditions, including AT. There have been no published studies assessing the efficacy or safety of PRP injections to treat post-operative AT after repair of tendon rupture. We present two cases of refractory AT after surgical repair of a ruptured Achilles tendon treated with ultrasound (US) guided PRP injections.
