Acute exertional compartment syndrome of the supraspinatus.

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
Acute exertional compartment syndrome (AECS) is increasingly recognised as an emergency presentation requiring urgent surgical intervention. This can theoretically affect any myofascial compartment, but is rare around the shoulder, with very limited literature relating to AECS of the supraspinatus muscle. It is vital for the treating medical team to have an index of suspicion for this condition in patients presenting with acute severe shoulder pain secondary to exertion, and act promptly to assess and investigate. Clinical assessment can be combined with important adjunctive investigations including magnetic resonance imaging and compartment pressure measurement, and if the diagnosis is confirmed or strongly suspected, emergency fasciotomy should be performed. We present a case of a patient with AECS of the supraspinatus, treated with emergency fasciotomy, who made a good long-term recovery.
