The Use and Benefits of Focused Shockwaves for the Diagnosis of Myofascial Pain Syndrome by Examining Myofascial Trigger Points in Low Back Pain.
Article in Biomedicines, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07660523 (Effectiveness of Second-Generation Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Combined With Ultrasonographic Assessment in Myofascial Pain Syndrome of the Neck and Shoulder), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
