This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
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.
Platelet-rich plasma injections for chronic lateral epicondylar tendinopathy: a systematic review
Br J Sports Med. 2014 Jun;48(12):952-6Data from 6 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was systematically reviewed to investigate the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the management of chronic lateral epicondylar tendinopathy, compared to placebo or other treatments. The search identified six randomized controlled trials of variable methodological quality (PEDro). The evidence presented in this review revealed that a beneficial effect of PRP was present in one high-quality study, while the remaining five studies did not establish significant differences in efficacy between PRP injections and control groups.
