Trajectory of patient-rated outcomes and association with patient acceptable symptom state in patients with musculoskeletal shoulder pain.
Article in The Journal of manual & manipulative therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveCharacterize trajectory and predictors of patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) defined recovery at 6 months.
methodsIndividuals with musculoskeletal shoulder pain (n = 140) completed patient-reported disability and PASS at baseline, 1 and 6 months. The PASS was categorized into 3 trajectory groups; 1.) Early Recovery (answered yes to PASS at 1 and 6-months), 2.) Delayed Recovery (PASS-yes only at 6-months), and 3.) Unrecovered. Mixed models characterized the trajectory between PASS-groups using SPADI and QDASH disability change scores. Logistic regression identified predictors of Early Recovery versus Delayed+Unrecovered groups.
resultsPASS-defined recovery rates by group were Early Recovery (58%), Delayed Recovery (22%), and Unrecovered (20%). A group main effect indicated lower disability over time in the Early Recovery versus Unrecovered (QDASH mean difference = 11(2.4); p = 0.001; SPADI mean difference = 12(3); p < 0.001). The odds of an Early Recovery slightly increased with greater change scores on the SPADI (odds ratio = 1.06, 95%CI:1.02,1.11; p = 0.004) and QDASH (odds ratio = 1.08, 95%CI:1.03,1.13; p = 0.003) over the first month of treatment.
conclusionRecovery trajectories of patients indicate differing responses to treatment despite overall improvements over the first month of treatment. Incorporating both patient-reported disability (SPADI, QDASH) and acceptable satisfaction (PASS) may aid in determining recovery trajectory, but more evidence is needed to be clinically useful.
