[Primary (idiopathic) shoulder stiffness : Definition, disease progression, epidemiology and etiology].
Review in Der Unfallchirurg, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Shoulder stiffness is characterized by restriction of the active and passive movement of the glenohumeral joint. The stiffness is ultimately caused by fibrosis and the resulting contracture of the glenohumeral joint capsule and its ligaments; however, the term stiff shoulder is only a descriptive umbrella term that must be further defined as the course of the disease and the recommended treatment are decisively influenced by the cause of the shoulder stiffness. Primary shoulder stiffness, also known as idiopathic shoulder stiffness or "frozen shoulder", must be distinguished from various forms of secondary shoulder stiffness and often occurs in three stages, which can all last for several months to years: the initial "freezing phase", followed by a "frozen phase" and finally a "thawing phase". Although primary shoulder stiffness is a frequent pathological alteration with an prevalence of 2-5% in the general population, the exact etiology remains largely unknown; however, there is consensus throughout the literature that certain systemic pathologies, such as diabetes mellitus are associated with a higher incidence of primary shoulder stiffness.
