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

objectiveTo compare psychological factors and the number of painful sites between wheelchair basketball athletes (WBA) with and without shoulder pain and examine their associations with shoulder pain.

designA cross-sectional, case-control study.

methodsForty-three WBA participated. Shoulder pain was assessed with the Wheelchair User's Shoulder Pain Index (WUSPI), pain catastrophizing with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), kinesiophobia by the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS), self-efficacy with the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and the number of painful sites using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Disability and sport-related data were collected. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated. Mann-Whitney U and independent samples t-tests were used for between-group comparisons.

resultsAthletes with shoulder pain (

conclusionsResults suggest considering WBA classes, pain catastrophizing, self-efficacy and multisite pain in the pain management of WBA.
