Intra-Articular PRP for Grade 2 Degenerative Meniscus Lesions; Radiological and Clinical Outcomes.

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
Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the radiological and clinical results of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy in degenerative meniscal lesions. Methods: Seventy patients with pain and grade 2 degenerative meniscal lesions on MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) were included in the study. All patients underwent Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score (KOOS), Tegner-Lysholm, International Knee Documentation Committee Score (IKDC), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) clinical scores, and MRI scans before and 6 months after the injection. Results: There was a statistically significant increase in Tegner-Lysholm, KOOS, and IKDC scores after the procedure (p=0.001; p<0.01), and a statistically significant decrease in VAS score after the procedure (p=0.001; p<0.01). However, no statistically significant difference was observed in MRI parameters (p>0.05). Conclusion: It has been shown that the use of intra-articular PRP in painful degenerative meniscal lesions improves knee functions and helps reduce pain. However, no significant difference was observed in MRI controls. The results of our study indicate that the use of intra-articular PRP injection in patients with grade 2 meniscus degeneration improves clinical scores but does not result in significant improvement in degeneration as measured by MRI.
