original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Treatment of lateral epicondylitis with platelet-rich plasma, glucocorticoid, or saline: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Am J Sports Med. 2013 Mar;41(3):625-35. doi: 10.1177/0363546512472975. Epub 2013 Jan 1760 patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis were randomized to receive injections of either platelet-rich plasma, saline, or glucocorticoid, in order to compare the impact of the injections on pain. Following assessments over a 3 month period, the results displayed that 1 injection of platelet-rich plasma and glucocorticoid provided similar pain reduction to those lateral epicondylitis patients who received a saline injection. However, patients who received the glucocorticoid injection experienced a significantly greater pain and disability reduction at the 1 month assessment, in comparison to the other patients.
