SUPRASPINATUS TENDON PATHOMECHANICS: A CURRENT CONCEPTS REVIEW.
Article in International journal of sports physical therapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
background and purposeTendinopathy of the supraspinatus muscle is a frequent cause of shoulder pain. Although it is a common condition, the pathophysiology is not fully understood. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to provide an overview of the pathophysiology of supraspinatus tendinopathy and discuss the conservative treatment solutions. DESCRIPTION: Supraspinatus tendinopathy is thought to be caused by both intrinsic, and extrinsic factors. Structural and biological changes happen when tendinopathy develops. Cellular and extracellular modifications characterize tendon healing stages that continue over time. Assessment is paramount in order to differentiate the structure involved, and to offer a proper treatment solution. RELATION TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Knowledge of the general concepts regarding the development of supraspinatus tendinopathy, and of the healing process should guide physiotherapists when proposing treatment options. Physical modalities commonly utilized for supraspinatus tendinopathy such as: laser, ultrasound, and shock-wave therapy have little and contradictory evidence. Exercise in form of eccentric training may be considered as it seems to have beneficial effects, however, more research is needed.
