Platelet-rich plasma for treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in pain research (Lausanne, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of arthritis, a pervasive condition affecting various joints within the human body. The culmination of various factors resulting in degradation and damage of healthy cartilage initiates the cascade of degenerative changes which contribute to the development of this condition, affecting about 73% of all adults older than age 55. Various treatments are available to help treat this condition. Prevention often includes the utilization of physical therapy, exercise, and weight management while treatment of the resultant joint pain includes bracing, medications, and interventional treatments including steroid and visco supplementation techniques. Within the past two decades, particular interest has developed in utilizing regenerative methods for treatment of these degenerative conditions. One such treatment is platelet rich plasma. Here we review the salient conceptions of this treatment and provide a brief overview of the evidence and healthcare impact regarding its utilization.
