1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Tendinopathy is a common but difficult condition to manage in the orthopedic and sports settings. Despite strong evidence supporting exercise and load-management, a substantial proportion of individuals with the condition do not achieve a satisfactory long-term outcome. Tendinopathy can be associated with a number of impairments, including mobility deficits, muscle performance impairments, pain, and possible altered central pain processing - all of which are indications for manual therapy. Manual therapy has not been well described in the management of tendinopathy, even though its indications match the impairments associated with the condition. In this clinical perspective, the role of manual therapy in the management of tendinopathy is explored, with the intention of expanding possible treatment strategies for this challenging condition.
