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

Shoulder pain is a common complaint in the elderly, the majority of which is related to musculoskeletal causes, but it can sometimes be a sign of a more sinister problem such as liver metastasis. This case report is about an elderly lady who presented with right shoulder pain, which turned out to be referred pain from liver metastasis. Clues prompting further evaluation included pain triggered by deep breathing while maintaining full shoulder mobility. This case report serves as a reminder to consider and recognise referred pain as a cause of shoulder pain, especially if range of motion and mobility are not affected.
