The role of MRI and Ultrasonography in Diagnosis and Treatment of Glenohumeral Joint Adhesive Capsulitis.
Review in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Adhesive capsulitis is a common disorder of the glenohumeral joint. Delayed diagnosis is the result of overlapping signs and symptoms with other disorders affecting the shoulder. Typically, the disease shows gradual progression of pain and loss of the range of motion. The hallmark of the physical examination is limitation of both passive and active motion without any associated degenerative changes on plain radiographs. Conservative and/or surgical treatments have shown conflicting results. Poor outcome may be related to co-morbid factors mainly including prolonged immobilization, rotator cuff pathology and diabetes mellitus among others. This review will present the current literature data on the natural history and pathophysiology of the disease, and will highlight the role of imaging in the prompt and accurate diagnosis as well as in the imaged-guided treatment with emphasis on ultrasonography.
