Platelet-Rich Plasma in Equine Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Experimental Evidence.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of equine lameness, with few effective disease-modifying treatments. This systematic review, conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, evaluated the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for equine OA by analyzing 11 studies (6 clinical, 5 experimental) identified through Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed (2000-2024). The screening process identified 252 records, of which 136 were duplicates and 105 were excluded based on predefined criteria. The analysis showed that intra-articular PRP injections are generally safe, with transient synovial inflammation occurring mainly when PRP was activated with bovine thrombin. Both leukocyte-rich (L-PRP) and leukocyte-poor (P-PRP) formulations exhibited comparable efficacy, though optimal platelet concentrations (423-658 × 10
