Comparative Analysis of Real-Time Dynamic Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis of Rotator Cuff Tear Injury.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 6 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 explore the value of real-time dynamic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury.
methodsFrom January 2020 to June 2021, the clinical data of 55 patients with rotator cuff injury were collected. All patients were examined by real-time dynamic ultrasound and MRI at the same time within two weeks before surgery, which was confirmed by arthroscopy. The value of real-time dynamic ultrasound, MRI, and the real-time dynamic ultrasound combined with MRI in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury was evaluated.
resultsAmong the 55 patients with rotator cuff injury, real-time dynamic ultrasound showed full-thickness rotator cuff tear in 12 patients (21.82%), including type I in 2 patients (3.64%), type II in 6 patients (10.91%), and type III in 4 patients (7.27%), and partial rotator cuff tear in 31 patients (56.36%), including type IV in 16 patients (29.00%), type V in 5 patients (9.09%), and type VI in 10 patients (18.18%). MRI showed full-thickness rotator cuff tear in 12 patients (21.82%), including type I in 2 patients (3.64%), type II in 6 patients (10.91%), and type III in 4 patients (7.27%), and partial rotator cuff tear in 37 patients (67.27%), including type IV in 20 patients (36.36%), type V in 7 patients (12.73%), and type VI in 10 patients (18.18%). The combined examination showed full-thickness rotator cuff tear in 12 patients (21.82%), including type I in 2 patients (3.64%), type II in 6 patients (10.91%), and type III in 4 patients (7.27%), and partial rotator cuff tear in 39 cases (70.91%), including type IV in 21 cases (38.12%), type V in 7 patients (12.73%), and type VI in 12 patients (21.82%). The diagnostic accuracy of real-time dynamic ultrasound in complete tearing, partial tearing and the overall accuracy were 92.31%, 73.81% and 78.18%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of complete tear, partial tear and the overall accuracy of MRI were 92.31%, 88.00% and 89.09%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of complete tear and partial tear and overall accuracy in the real-time dynamic ultrasound combined with MRI were 92.31%, 95.24%, and 94.55%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy and overall diagnostic accuracy of the combined examination of partial tears were higher than those of the real-time dynamic ultrasound and MRI examinations alone.
conclusionReal-time dynamic ultrasound and MRI have high application value in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury, and the combined diagnosis is conducive to improving the diagnostic accuracy of patients with partial tear.
