Suprascapular Neuropathy in Collegiate Tennis Player: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Suprascapular neuropathy can be seen in overhead athletes and should be considered when evaluating an overhead athlete presenting with shoulder pain and/or weakness. The suprascapular nerve innervates the supraspinatus and the infraspinatus, but dynamic entrapment as it passes under the spinoglenoid ligament at the spinoglenoid notch can lead to isolated denervation of the infraspinatus. Specific movements common in tennis cause tensioning and compression of the spinoglenoid ligament and may predispose players to dynamic entrapment at this location. We present a case of an 18-year-old male collegiate tennis player presenting with suprascapular neuropathy causing isolated denervation of the infraspinatus. This case illustrates the consequences of noncompliance with physical therapy and serves as a review of the pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of suprascapular neuropathy.
