Assessment of Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma Augmentation in Follicular Unit Extraction in Hair Density Improvement: A Prospective Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences. 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
Background: Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a popular technique for treating androgenetic alopecia, but variable outcomes in hair density post-surgery persist. "Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)" has been proposed as an adjunct therapy to improve outcomes. Objective: This research aims to assess the efficacy of PRP augmentation in improving hair density in patients undergoing FUE. Methods: A prospective research was conducted on 50 participants with androgenetic alopecia. Participants were divided into two groups: FUE with PRP (Group A) and FUE alone (Group B). Hair density was measured at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months post-procedure. Results: At 6 months, Group A demonstrated a 25% greater improvement in hair density compared to Group B ( Conclusion: PRP augmentation significantly enhances hair density outcomes post-FUE and offers a promising adjunct for androgenetic alopecia management.
