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

Despite its prevalence, the optimal management of frozen shoulder is unclear. A range of conservative measures are often undertaken with varying degrees of success. In cases of severe and persistent symptoms, release procedures which could include any combination of manipulation under anaesthetic, arthroscopic capsular release or hydrodilatation are frequently offered, none of which has been shown to offer superior outcome over the others. When surgical release is performed a period of rehabilitation is normally recommended but no best practice guidelines exist resulting in considerable variations in practice which may or may not directly affect patient outcome. During this narrative review, we hypothesise that these differing responses to treatment (both conservative and surgical options) are potentially the result of different causal mechanisms for frozen shoulder and may also suggest that post-release rehabilitation may need to take this into account.
