Endoscopic Neuromodulation of Suprascapular Nerve in Chronic Shoulder Pain: A Case Report.
Article in Anesthesiology and pain medicine, 2020. 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
Shoulder pain is very frequent, especially in middle-aged male adults. Its treatment may be very problematic, mainly in patients who cannot rest and stop their work. At present, it is treated with analgesics, physiotherapy, infiltration of corticosteroids, and/or radiofrequency neuromodulation of the suprascapular nerve. This may be effective but not easy to do. Its efficacy is limited in time, especially because the approach to the nerve trunk may be problematic for its anatomical nature. Ultrasonography has helped, but it is not always completely helpful, due to the small dimension and the complexity of the anatomical structure. In this case report, we describe a more helpful approach to the nerve trunk using an endoscopic technique. The results are very promising. However, larger studies would be necessary to make clear its usefulness.
