Bilateral Suprascapular Nerve Cryoneurolysis for Pain Associated With Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis: A Case Report.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07125833 (A Randomized Pilot Trial for Cryoneurolysis of the Suprascapular Nerve for Perioperative Pain Control After Receiving a Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability, typically treated with exercise, analgesics, injections, or surgeries. Cryoneurolysis is an established technique for the treatment of pain, including osteoarthritis that may provide an alternative for patients in whom surgery is not appropriate and conservative measures have failed. We present our experience with a 78-year-old man with severe pain from bilateral glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Their condition is complicated by several concurrent diagnoses, leaving them ineligible for surgical intervention, despite pharmacologic treatments proving insufficient to manage their pain. As an alternative, bilateral cryoneurolysis of the suprascapular nerve was performed at the suprascapular notch. Pain and disability scores both lessened on the Brief Pain Inventory Score, Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (change of 9 points after 170 days) as well as the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (change of 19 points after 170 days). The patient had improved active and passive range of motion for flexion, abduction, and external rotation of the shoulder. Improvements endured to follow-up at 170 days. There were no negative side effects as a result of the procedure.
