If the money guys can only come up with level 3 and 4 evidence.....
Fair in the biased eyes of asipp.
We discussed upcoming potential review at last evidence analysis committee meeting. Awaiting assignments from the bosses. I am sure that if categorical data is not available, studies will be discounted or excluded. The SIS evidentiary tables shine light at all possible flaws and deficiencies in the study.
Hope to be a part of this and be able to provide you good news.
Why are their eyes biased?

conclusion says there is level 4 for PRP of facets and other spine locations...level 3 for intradiscal. Looks like progress is being made.
Level 3 means fair, level 4 means limited. This should not be encouraging.
Do the research. Don't rob people blind and then given them SC in the eyes to restore sight. Let the EAC review the literature.
Dry eye or subjectiveyour head will explode....i had a patient yesterday who received some type of PRP/stem cell eye drops and his vision improved.
I love stories.
But they are exactly that, stories.
The best story I heard - a patient had acute severe radicular back pain back in the 1960s. Mom told him lie on pavement 3 hours a day during hot sunny days. 2 weeks later, pain all gone and didn’t return until 50 years later.
Hot pavement therapy ftw

I know a regenerative optometrist who makes autologous tears from patient serum. One of my Sjogren/Sicca/RA patients reports great relief:
Thicker than Water: Autologous Serum
Magic beans.
From your link:
Evaluating evidence regarding the efficacy of ASED is not helped by the fact that sample sizes tend to be small with little follow-up; there is also no universal protocol for preparing and storing the eye drops.
