Adhesive Capsulitis: Demographics and Predictive Factors for Success Following Steroid Injections and Surgical Intervention.
Article in Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeExamine demographic factors of all patients treated for adhesive capsulitis by a single surgeon, report the treatments and outcomes of these patients, and determine the effectiveness of various treatments, including corticosteroid injections and operative intervention in relation to risk factors for adhesive capsulitis.
methodsAll patients treated for adhesive capsulitis by a single surgeon between 2008 to 2014 with minimum 2 years' follow-up were identified via charts and operative reports and were eligible for inclusion. Demographic information including sex and medical comorbidities was documented. Preintervention and postintervention shoulder range of motion was recorded. Specific treatment information (number of corticosteroid injections, etc) was collected. Treatment outcomes were then compared as an aggregate and among varying comorbidities.
resultsOverall, 1377 patients were treated for adhesive capsulitis (946 women vs 431 men [
conclusionIn shoulder adhesive capsulitis, women and patients with diabetes are more commonly affected, patients with diabetes respond less favorably to physical therapy in isolation and physical therapy plus corticosteroid injections than nondiabetic patients. No benefit from multiple intraarticular corticosteroid injections was seen compared with a single intraarticular corticosteroid injection in patients with diabetes and nondiabetic patients. Patients with diabetes and nondiabetic patients have functional improvement after capsular release and manipulation if conservative treatment for adhesive capsulitis fails. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, case control.
