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

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation autologous blood concentrate widely applied in regenerative medicine and dentistry for its wound-healing potential. Its clinical applications span dermatology, plastic surgery, periodontology, implantology, and oral maxillofacial surgery, with growing evidence supporting its effectiveness in tissue regeneration. Fibroblasts, as central regulators of extracellular matrix synthesis and remodeling, angiogenesis, and inflammation, are important targets of PRF's regenerative effects. This review summarizes the recent evidence of role of PRF in regulation of fibroblast functions important for wound healing and inflammation. It highlights PRF as a biologically active scaffold that accelerates soft tissue repair, primarily through modulation of fibroblasts, positioning it as a promising adjunct in regenerative therapies.
