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

Allogeneic platelet-rich plasma (al-PRP) is gaining attention in clinical practice for treating chronic refractory wounds, though research results remain controversial. To assess the clinical efficacy of al-PRP for chronic refractory wounds. Databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, SinoMed, VIP, and WFPD were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing al-PRP with conventional treatments up to October 2023. Two researchers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed quality. Statistical analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4, and potential publication bias was assessed and corrected using funnel plots and Egger's test. Twelve studies with 717 cases were included. Meta-analysis showed al-PRP significantly improved outcomes compared to non-al-PRP treatments: increased healing rate (RR 2.72, 95% CI 1.77-4.19, p < 0.00001), shortened healing time (SMD - 1.03, 95% CI -1.31 to -0.75, p < 0.00001), improved efficacy rate (RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.10-1.28, p < 0.00001), increased wound shrinkage (MD 35.65%, 95% CI 21.65-49.64, p < 0.00001), and reduced hospital stays (MD -2.62, 95% CI -4.35 to -0.90, p = 0.003). Al-PRP is a feasible, effective, and safe biological therapy for chronic refractory wounds.Trial registration: PROSPERO Identifier CRD42022374920.
