Incidental Finding of an Intratendinous Supraspinatus Cyst.
Article in Cureus, 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
We present the case of a 32-year-old male patient with an intratendinous cyst of the supraspinatus tendon identified during shoulder arthroscopy. The patient presented with right shoulder pain, worsened by shoulder flexion and abduction, after playing darts. There was no history of trauma. Initial clinical examination revealed only slightly reduced subscapularis muscle strength and tenderness over the long head of the biceps tendon. Magnetic resonance imaging showed subacromial impingement, a bursal side partial tear of the supraspinatus tendon, and subscapularis tendinosis. Despite physiotherapy, which resulted in a full shoulder range of motion and negative provocative tests, his symptoms persisted for two years. He subsequently underwent a diagnostic arthroscopy, subacromial decompression, and biceps tenodesis. Intra-operatively, an intratendinous cyst within the supraspinatus tendon was identified and debrided, explaining the persistence of his symptoms. Six months postoperatively, he maintained a full shoulder range of motion with complete resolution of symptoms.
