Rotator Cuff Tendon Assessment in Symptomatic and Control Groups Using Quantitative MRI.
Article in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundRelatively weak correlations between patient symptoms and rotator cuff tendon (RCT) tearing have been reported; however, the relationship between symptoms and tendinosis has been less well-studied. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: To use quantitative MRI to assess the bilateral RCTs in shoulders of both patients with unilateral symptomatic tendinopathy and control subjects. We hypothesized that quantitative MRI measures would differ between symptomatic patients and controls. STUDY TYPE: Prospective imaging study. POPULATION/SUBJECTS: In all, 48 shoulders from 24 subjects (mean age, 32.8 years), including 14 patients with unilateral symptomatic tendinopathy and 10 asymptomatic controls. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3T/3D ultrashort echo time Cones sequence with magnetization transfer preparation (UTE-Cones-MT) and Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill. ASSESSMENT: Macromolecular fraction (MMF) and T STATISTICAL TESTS: Three shoulder groups were evaluated, including symptomatic shoulders, contralateral asymptomatic shoulders in patients, and asymptomatic controls. MMF and T
resultsSignificant differences were found in both MMF and T DATA
conclusionSymptomatic RCTs showed significantly lower MMF values and higher T EVIDENCE LEVEL: 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:864-872.
