Transcapular Nerve Block and Subacromial Bursa Injection in Shoulder Pain in Fibromyalgia in a Female Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
This case report investigates the use of transcapular nerve blocks and subacromial bursa injections with a local anesthetic to manage shoulder pain in a 53-year-old female patient with fibromyalgia. The patient, who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, bilateral rotator cuff tendinosis, and subacromial bursitis after a fall, showed improvement in pain and function after 8 weeks of treatment with the combined injections. Her visual analogue scale (VAS) score was reduced from 9 to 2, and her range of motions returned to normal. This significant improvement supports the hypothesis that combining the administration of a local anesthetic with transcapular nerve blocks and subacromial bursa injections may effectively reduce shoulder pain in fibromyalgia patients. Future large-scale observational and randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these results.
