SUBSCAPULAR INJURY: PROSPECTIVE COMPARISON OF PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, MRI AND ARTHROSCOPY.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2025. 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
Rotator cuff injury is the most frequent etiology of shoulder pain, with 24% of these injuries involving the subscapular tendon. Objective: To correlate the findings of three clinical tests (Gerber test, Belly Press test, and Bear Hug test) with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and arthroscopic findings of subscapular lesions. Methods: Prospective cross-sectional study, from November 2023 to March 2024, with 50 patients with rotator cuff injury, evaluating sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy among clinical tests, MRI, and arthroscopic findings. Results: 50 patients formed the sample, with 29 (58%) men and 21 (42%) women aged 42 to 86 years. We found a specificity of 88% and an accuracy of 54% in MRI. Regarding the Gerber test, the Belly Press test, and the Bear Hug test, the sensitivity was 64%, 64%, and 76%, with specificity of 75% for the Gerber and Belly Press tests and accuracy of 74% for the Bear Hug test. Conclusion: We concluded that the Bear Hug test showed higher sensitivity and accuracy in detecting subscapular tendon lesions, with MRI being the most specific method.
