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
objectiveTo explore the effect of PRP platelet-rich plasma injection combined with aquatic exercise therapy on the functional recovery of basketball players with knee joint injury.
methodsThis retrospective study included 60 basketball players who sustained knee joint injury between January 2021 to June 2023. Among them, 28 patients received PRP platelet-rich plasma injection (control group), while the other 32 patients received PRP platelet-rich plasma injection combined with aquatic exercise therapy (observation group). We compared the improvements in knee joint pain level, knee joint mobility, knee joint muscle strength and other indexes between the two groups before and after the interventions.
resultsAfter 8 weeks of intervention, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score in the observation group was significantly lower than that before the intervention; Besides, the knee flexion range and Lysholm knee function score in the observation group were significantly improved (all P<0.05); and all these improvements were more substantial than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The KOOS scores of both groups increased significantly after 8 weeks of intervention as compared to pre-intervention, and the scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05).
conclusionPRP injection combined with aquatic exercise therapy significantly improves knee mobility, muscle strength and function, and reduces pain severity, in basketball players with knee injuries.
