Trial report in Brazilian journal of physical therapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07192003 (Comparison of the Immediate Effect of Flossband and Mobilization With Movement on Shoulder Mobility in Volleyball Athletes), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundMobilization with movement (MWM) is commonly used to treat patients with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP). However, the evidence supporting MWM efficacy for improving range of motion (ROM) and pain in patients with RCRSP is limited.

objectivesTo assess the immediate effects of MWM on the angular onset of pain in patients with RCRSP.

methodsSixty-three participants with RCRSP were randomized to receive 3 sets of 10 repetitions of MWM or sham MWM with a minute rest between each set. The angular onset of pain (primary outcome), and pain intensity at rest and during shoulder abduction to the onset of pain were measured at baseline, and after receiving the 1

resultsCompared with the sham MWM group, the MWM group had an additional improvement of 6.5° (95% CI -0.9, 13.9) and 13.7° (95% CI 6.3, 21.1) (from baseline) after receiving the 1

conclusionMWM improves the angular onset of pain after 3 sets of 10 repetitions of MWM in patients with RCRSP. This study provides preliminary support for the use of MWM in treating patients with RCRSP and provides some guidance for clinicians to decide the MWM dosage to be used in clinical practice.
