Experimentally quantifying the feasible torque space of the human shoulder.
Article in Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology, 2022. 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
Daily tasks rely on our ability to generate multi-dimensional shoulder torques. When function is limited, strength assessments are used to identify impairments and guide treatment. However, these assessments are often one-dimensional and limited in their sensitivity to diagnose shoulder pathology. To address these limitations, we have proposed novel metrics to quantify shoulder torque capacity in all directions. To quantify the feasible torque space of the shoulder, we measured maximal volitional shoulder torques in 32 unique directions and fit an ellipsoid model to these data. This ellipsoid model was used to quantify overall strength magnitude, strength balance, and the directions in which participants were strongest and weakest. We used these metrics to characterize three-dimensional shoulder strength in healthy adults and demonstrated their repeatability across days. Finally, using musculoskeletal simulations, we showed that our proposed metrics can distinguish between changes in muscle strength associated with aging or rotator cuff tears and quantified the influence of altered experimental conditions on this diagnostic capacity. Our results demonstrate that the proposed metrics can robustly quantify the feasible torque space of the shoulder and may provide a clinically useful description of the functional capacity of the shoulder in health and disease.
