The Value of Percutaneous Ultrasound-Guided Subacromial Bursography for Rotator Cuff Tear in Elderly Patients with Shoulder Pain.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: Based on the analysis of the images of acromial slide, we explored the application of percutaneous ultrasound-guided subacromial bursography (PUSB) on rotator cuff tear (RCT) in diagnosing elderly patients with shoulder pain. Methods: Eighty-five patients who were clinically diagnosed with RCT and underwent PUSB examination in the department of ultrasound in our hospital were enrolled as the subjects. Independent samples Results: In patients with large full-thickness RCT, the 100% detection rate was achieved by the techniques of ultrasound, MRI, and PUSB. For patients with small full-thickness RCT, the detection rate of PUSB (100%) was evidently higher than those of ultrasound and MRI. Similar results were shown in the detection rates of patients with bursal-side partial-thickness RCT (90.5%) and articular-side partial-thickness RCT (86.9%). More importantly, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of PUSB in patients with both full-thickness RCT and partial-thickness RCT were significantly better than those of ultrasound and MRI. Conclusion: PUSB has a better efficacy in the detection of RCT than ultrasound and MRI, showing its feasibility as an important imaging method to evaluate the degree of RCT.
