A preliminary study of manipulation under anaesthesia for secondary frozen shoulder following breast cancer treatment.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03586154 (Combined Platelet Rich Plasma Intra-articular Shoulder Injection and Stellate Ganglion Block. A New Technique for Management of Chronic Post-mastectomy Shoulder Pain Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.

Abstract
introductionThe aim of this paper is to present the results of manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) and injection of local anaesthetic and corticosteroid followed by a physiotherapy regime for secondary frozen shoulder after breast cancer treatment (surgery, radiotherapy), and to compare them with a control group.
methodsPatients referred to the senior author for secondary frozen shoulder following breast cancer treatment over a ten-year period were investigated. Recorded data included age, treatment for breast cancer, length of symptoms, Oxford shoulder score (OSS) and range of motion before and after shoulder MUA. These data were compared with a control group of patients with frozen shoulder.
resultsA total of 263 patients were referred with 281 frozen shoulders. Of these, 7 patients (7 shoulders) had undergone previous breast cancer treatment and the remaining 256 patients (274 shoulders) formed the control group. None of the patients were diabetic. The mean preoperative OSS was 31 for the study group and 27 for the control group, improving to 43 for both groups following MUA. Forty-two per cent of the study group and fifteen per cent of the control group had a second MUA subsequently. At the long-term follow-up appointment, 71% of the study group patients were satisfied with their result.
conclusionsThe results of this preliminary study suggest that MUA, corticosteroid injection and subsequent physiotherapy have achieved good final results in a series of patients with frozen shoulder secondary to breast cancer treatment. Members of the multidisciplinary team looking after breast cancer patients should be aware of this management option and, on manifestation of this pathology, should refer the patient to an orthopaedic surgeon.
