Sponsorship of Clinical Trials Related to the Shoulder and Elbow: Trends Over Time and Comparative Analysis of Trial Characteristics by Sponsorship Type.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionSponsorship trends have not been specifically evaluated for shoulder and elbow clinical trials, nor have trial characteristics been compared among shoulder and elbow trials sponsored by institutions, industries, and federal agencies.
methodsClinicalTrials.gov was queried for clinical trials using the terms 'shoulder' and 'elbow.' Trial characteristics were abstracted, including start year, intervention type, phase, randomization, and blinding. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine associations between sponsorship type and other trial characteristics.
resultsIn total, 4,945 shoulder clinical trials and 1,517 elbow clinical trials were identified, of which 26 shoulder clinical trials and seven elbow clinical trials were excluded due to incomplete data. From 2000 to 2022, the number of shoulder and elbow trials initiated annually markedly increased driven by an increase in the number of institutional trials. Relative to trials with institutional sponsorship, industry sponsorship was independently associated with different intervention types, phase of study, lack of randomization, and blinding. DISCUSSION: From 2000 to 2022, the number of shoulder and elbow clinical trials initiated annually markedly increased, driven by an increase in institutionally sponsored trials. For clinical trials related to the shoulder, design characteristics were found to differ based on study sponsorship type. This suggests that the design characteristics of shoulder-related clinical trials are shifting over time.
