Focal uptake at the rotator interval or inferior capsule of shoulder on
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo determine if focal increased uptake at the rotator interval (RI) and/or inferior capsule (IC) on MATERIALS AND
methodsThree populations were retrospectively examined. Group 1 included 1,137 consecutive
resultsThe prevalence of focal activity at either the RI or IC ("positive PET") was 0.53%. Nine patients had a clinical diagnosis of AC and 15 patients had a positive PET. The sensitivity and specificity of PET for detection of AC was 56% and 87%, respectively. PET/CT had a positive likelihood ratio for AC of 6.3 (95% CI: 2.8-14.6).
conclusionsIncreased uptake at the RI or IC on PET/CT confers a moderate increase in the likelihood of AC.
