Rotator cuff assessment on imaging.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint providing it strength and stability. The rotator cuff consists of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor. Many shoulder complaints are caused by rotator cuff pathology such as impingement syndrome, tendon tears and other diseases e.g. calcific tendonitis. Diagnosis starts with clinical history and physical examination, after which imaging is often used to help confirm clinical findings depending on the differential diagnosis. The aim of the article is to review the frequently used imaging modalities to assess the rotator cuff and cuff-related disease, specifically focusing on radiography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. This article will outline the advantages and disadvantages for each modality and illustrate typical radiological findings of common rotator cuff pathologies.
