Physical therapy for the treatment of frozen shoulder: A protocol for systematic review of randomized controlled trial.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 7 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
backgroundPrevious clinical trials have reported that physical therapy (PT) can be used for the treatment of frozen shoulder (FS). However, its effectiveness is still inconclusive. In this systematic review study, we will aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PT alone for the treatment of FS.
methodsThe following electronic databases will be searched from the inception to the present to identify any eligible studies focusing on PT for the treatment of FS. These databases comprise of Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, MEDLINE, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and 4 Chinese databases of Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (which includes the database China Academic Journals), VIP Information, and Wanfang Data. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of PT for FS will be considered for inclusion without language restrictions. Cochrane risk of bias tool will be used to assess the methodological quality for all included RCTs.
resultsThe effectiveness and safety of this study will be assessed by shoulder pain intensity, shoulder function, quality of life, and any adverse events.
conclusionThe findings of this study may provide most recent evidence on the effectiveness and safety of PT for patients with FS.
