Effects of heat-sensitive moxibustion combined with naprapathy and warming needle moxibustion combined with naprapathy in patients with periarthritis of shoulder.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effects of heat-sensitive moxibustion (HSM) combined with naprapathy and warming needle moxibustion (WNM) combined with naprapathy on shoulder function and serum levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) in patients with periarthritis of shoulder (POS).
methodsFrom July 2017 to July 2020, sixty patients with POS admitted to our hospital were selected as the study subjects, and divided into HSM group (n=29) receiving HSM combined with naprapathy and WNM group receiving WNM combined with naprapathy (n=31). The changes in shoulder function, degrees of pain and serum levels of CGRP, SP, TNF-α and IL-2 were compared between the two groups.
resultsAfter treatment, the scores of myodynamia, pain, range of motion (ROM) of shoulder joint and activities of daily living (ADLs) were improved in both groups (
conclusionHSM combined with naprapathy is superior to WNM combined with naprapathy in inhibition of inflammatory factors of pain and serum inflammatory factors, alleviating the pain and promoting the restoration of shoulder function in patients with POS.
