Local injection of platelet-rich plasma is effective for non-healing hand wounds.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. 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
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of local platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in treating non-healing hand wounds.
methodsData of 80 patients with non-healing hand wounds were retrospectively selected for this study. Among them, 48 patients in the research group received local PRP injections, while 32 patients in the control group were treated with conventional dressing changes. The outcomes assessed included treatment efficacy, safety, frequency of dressing change, wound healing time, duration of hospitalization, treatment costs, wound healing rate, wound infection rate, Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) scores, Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, serum wound growth factors, and patient satisfaction with wound appearance.
resultsThe research group demonstrated significantly superior outcomes compared to the control group, including higher overall treatment efficacy and wound healing rates. Furthermore, the research group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of adverse events, reduced frequency of dressing changes, shorter wound healing time, reduced hospitalization duration, lower treatment costs, and a lower infection rate. Post-treatment assessments revealed significantly lower VSS, BWAT, and VAS scores in the research group. Additionally, the upregulation of serum wound growth factors was more pronounced in the research group following treatment.
conclusionsLocal PRP injection demonstrates clear efficacy in the management of non-healing hand wounds.
