The clinical utility of musculoskeletal ultrasonography in hemiplegic shoulder rehabilitation poststroke.
Article in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07158255 (Effect of Exercise Training on Pain, Range of Motion, Functionality and Shoulder Architecture in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis), which is not on this map.

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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the utility of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) in the rehabilitation of stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. Methods: We conducted a study involving 80 stroke patients with hemiplegia and concomitant shoulder pain on the affected side, admitted to our hospital between April 2020 and March 2021. MSUS was used to evaluate shoulder structures, including the long head of the biceps brachii tendon (BICT) and its sheath, rotator cuff, subacromial-subdeltoid (SA-SD) bursa, labrum, acromioclavicular ligament, acromiocoracoid ligament, and acromion-greater tuberosity (AGT) distance. We compared pre- and post-rehabilitation measurements of supraspinatus tendon (SST) thickness, BICT sheath effusion thickness, SA-SD bursa effusion thickness, AGT distance, and visual analog scale (VAS) scores. Statistical significance was set at Results: Post-rehabilitation, the SST thickness on the hemiplegic side showed a statistically significant reduction ( Conclusion: MSUS is a feasible and reproducible tool for monitoring rehabilitation progress in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain.
