The Role of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in the Treatment of Lumbar Spine Disease: A Narrative Review.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2026. 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
purpose of reviewPlatelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative medicine technique utilized across various fields of medicine. Utilizing components of a patient's own blood, autologous applications of enriched biologic components including growth factors are thought to promote the healing process in various disease states. This modality has recently seen an expansion in various fields for novel applications. In pain medicine, this has seen similar growth for treatment of lumbar spine disease. Though this advancement is in its nascency, here we provide a narrative review to discuss the history and usage of PRP for the lumbar spine. RECENT
findingsPRP has been used in the spine for various purposes including adjuncts for surgical fusion and treatment for pain conditions such as facetogenic back pain, radiculopathy, and disc related pain conditions. Though evidence is sparse, PRP may be beneficial for use for treatment of disc related spine pain and radiculopathy. Results from PRP use for facet mediated pain is inconsistent while use with spinal fusion may inhibit osseous integration. PRP may have a role in treatment of spine related conditions particularly for disc related pain and radiculopathy though further studies are needed to validate existing findings.
