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
Considering the potential chondrotoxic effects of lidocaine, this retrospective study aimed to examine whether ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation without concurrent lidocaine infusion can still provide comparable treatment benefits for patients with adhesive capsulitis (AC). Outpatient data from 104 eligible AC patients who received ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation between May 2016 and April 2021 were reviewed. A total of 59 patients received hydrodilatation with diluted corticosteroid only, while 45 patients received treatment with mixed, diluted corticosteroid and 1% lidocaine. The overall treatment outcome was documented as the percentage of clinical improvement, ranging from 0% to 100% compared to baseline, and it was ranked into poor, moderate and good treatment outcomes. The results show no significant group-wise difference in demographics, overall treatment outcome, and number of hydrodilatations, while most patients showed moderate and good treatment outcomes. Patients with lidocaine infusion did not show greater treatment benefit. Our results suggest that ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation without concurrent lidocaine infusion can still deliver good treatment benefits for AC patients, and the findings are supportive of a modified approach toward careful intra-articular local anesthetic use during management of AC in the primary care setting.
