Acromioclavicular osteoarthritis and shoulder pain: a review of the role of ultrasonography.
Review in Journal of ultrasound, 2020. 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
Acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis is often a cause of shoulder pain. On the other hand, imaging frequently leads to such a diagnosis, especially in elderly patients, and some authors believe it to have a poor correlation with the clinical picture. It is, however, widely accepted that such a condition can be the cause of rotator cuff impingement. In the case of shoulder pain, it is important to distinguish between symptomatic acromioclavicular osteoarthritis and other causes, especially rotator cuff pathology, which is more common. Sometimes, the clinical picture does not allow for differential diagnosis; in these cases, the injection of a local anesthetic into the acromioclavicular joint or into the subacromial bursa can be of great help. Ultrasonography can easily detect acromioclavicular osteoarthritis and rotator cuff pathology, and it is highly effective in guiding the articular or bursal injection of a local anesthetic to assess the origin of the pain. In addition, in conservative therapy, ultrasonography can guide the articular or bursal injection of corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid.
