Composition of Platelet-Rich Plasma Prepared From Knee Osteoarthritic Patients: Platelets, Leukocytes, and Subtypes of Leukocyte.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) has gained increasing popularity in the orthopedic field. There has been still no consensus on PRP preparation technique, thus providing a variety of final PRP products. Different preparation techniques lead to different compositions of PRP, which include platelet concentration, the number of leukocytes, and their subtypes. Here, we studied those compositions of PRP compared to whole blood samples.
methodsThere were 335 participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each participant underwent a blood drawing process to prepare PRP for their knee osteoarthritis treatment. We categorized baseline platelet concentration in whole blood samples into three groups: less than 2 x 10
resultsThe average platelet concentration in PRP was 1.26 x 10
