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

Background: Previous epidemiological and other studies have shown an association between ischemic stroke (IS) and frozen shoulder (FS). However, the causal relationship between them remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between IS and FS using a two-sample Mendelian randomization method. Methods: Our research was divided into two stages: discovery and replication. The data were extracted from publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We selected a large sample of IS ( Results: In the discovery stage, the IVW approach revealed an odds ratio (OR) of 1.207 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.027-1.417 and a Conclusions: Our study confirmed the causal relationship between any IS level and increased risk of FS. Furthermore, the same results were obtained in the replication stage with lacunar stroke as an exposure factor. However, there was no direct causal relationship between the subtypes of IS and FS. Our study provides theoretical support for shoulder care for patients with IS.
