Intraosseous calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff yields similar outcomes to those of intratendinous lesions despite worse preoperative scores.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the surgical outcomes of arthroscopic removal of intraosseous deposits in patients with intraosseous calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff.
methodsThis study involved a retrospective review of 96 patients operated on from 2004 to 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to the location of calcific deposits. Group I had pure tendinous involvement (n = 71), and Group II had tendinous and intraosseous involvement (n = 25). The mean follow-up time was 6.4 ± 3.9 years. There were 71 patients (46 women, 25 men) in Group I, and the mean age was 49.3 ± 8.2 years (range 30-65 years). In group II, there were 25 patients (18 women, 7 men); the mean age was 47.3 ± 11.2 years (range 28-70 years).
resultsThe mean preoperative VAS pain score was 8.8 ± 1.4 in Group I compared to 9.5 ± 0.5 in group II (p = 0.017). The median preoperative Constant and Oxford scores were 42 (20-65) and 22 (8-34) in Group I and 25.5 (22-46) and 10 (8-16) in group II, respectively (p < 0.001). There was no difference in postoperative pain scores (Group I: 0.7 ± 1.6 and group II: 0.5 ± 0.6, p = 0.926), Constant scores [Group I: 100 (80-100) and group II: 100 (90-100), (n.s).] and Oxford scores [Group I: 48 (28-48) and group II: 46.5 (4-48), (n.s.)] between the two groups. The number of preoperative injections was higher in Group II (p = 0.05). There was no correlation between the size of the soft tissue calcific deposit and the preoperative pain, Constant, and Oxford scores (n.s.).
conclusionArthroscopic debridement of calcific tendinitis with intraosseous involvement is a safe and effective treatment method similar to that of pure tendinous involvement. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
