Shoulder kinetics and ultrasonography changes after performing a high-intensity task in spinal cord injury subjects and healthy controls.
Article in Spinal cord, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
STUDY
designThis is a prospective and comparative study between two groups.
objectivesThe objective of this study was to compare the changes in shoulder joint forces and their moments, as well as any possible ultrasound changes, when subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI) and healthy controls (CG) undertake a high-intensity manual wheelchair propulsion test.
settingThis study was conducted in an inpatient SCI rehabilitation center.
methodsA group of 22 subjects with SCI at level T2 or below who use a manual wheelchair (MWU), categorized as AIS grade A or B, were compared with a CG of 12 healthy subjects. Subjects in each group performed a high-intensity wheelchair propulsion test. The variables analyzed were shoulder joint forces and the moments at the beginning and at the end of the test. Ultrasound variables before and after the propulsion test were also analyzed. Correlations were also drawn between the ultrasonography and demographic variables.
resultsIn both groups, peak shoulder forces and moments increased after the test in almost all directions. No differences in the ultrasound parameters were found. A greater long-axis biceps tendon thickness (LBTT) was associated with more shoulder pain according to WUSPI or VAS (r=0.428, P<0.05 and r=0.452, P<0.05, respectively).
conclusionsShoulder joint forces and moments increase after an intense propulsion task. In subjects with SCI, these increases center on forces with less chance of producing subacromial damage. No changes are produced in ultrasonography variables, whereas a poorer clinical and functional evaluation of the shoulder of the MWUs appears to be related to a thicker long-axis biceps tendon.
