Relative and absolute reliability of ultrasound measurements for the thickness of the soft tissue around the shoulder joint of young normal subjects.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of ultrasound measurements by analyzing the relative reliability and absolute reliability when measuring soft tissue thickness around the shoulder joint. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven healthy young adults (22 shoulders) participated in this study. Thickness of the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and biceps tendon was measured on both shoulders. This protocol was performed twice in the same day. The relative reliability of ultrasound measurement was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient for determining the degree of consistency and agreement between two measures. The absolute reliability of the ultrasound measurement was evaluated using the standard error of measurement, minimum detectable change, and Bland-Altman analysis. [Results] Ultrasound measurements exhibited high relative reliability: intraclass correlation coefficients for the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and biceps tendon thickness were demonstrated to be 0.91, 0.82, and 0.90, respectively. Bland-Altman analyses revealed no significant systematic bias between the repeated measurements for the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and biceps tendon thickness. [Conclusion] These findings suggest that ultrasound measurement for the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and biceps tendon thickness exhibited good relative reliability and no systematic errors were detected regarding their absolute reliability.
