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

backgroundPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) shows promise in burn management, yet optimal platelet concentrations, timing, and standardized protocols remain unclear, leading to inconsistent clinical outcomes.

aimsTo compare the therapeutic efficacy of PRP at different platelet concentrations in deep second-degree burns and to explore associated molecular mechanisms. PATIENTS/

methodsTwenty-eight patients with small-area deep second-degree burns were randomly assigned to four groups: Group A (PRP 600-1000 × 10

resultsAll PRP groups showed faster healing and lower infection rates compared with controls. Group C achieved the shortest healing time (p < 0.05). Growth factor concentrations rose with increasing platelet levels, but M2 macrophage polarization was highest in Group C. Elevated transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in Group D appeared to trigger negative feedback, limiting M2 accumulation and diminishing added benefit. Scar scores did not differ significantly among PRP groups.

conclusionsPRP accelerates wound healing and reduces infection risk in deep second-degree burns. A platelet concentration of 1000-1400 × 10
