Adhesive Capsulitis of the Hip: Clinical Features, Diagnosis, and Management.
Review in Hip & pelvis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Commonly referred to as frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis is an extensively studied and well-documented condition in the glenohumeral joint. However, adhesive capsulitis of the hip (ACH) remains a clinical enigma with limited research and understanding. Characterized by pain and a significant restriction in the range of motion, ACH, severely impacts patient quality of life. The current literature on ACH is sparse, with few studies addressing its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. This review aims to consolidate existing knowledge on ACH to provide a comprehensive overview, drawing parallels with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (ACS). We explore the similarities and differences in pathophysiology between ACH and ACS, review the clinical manifestations of ACH, and discuss the diagnostic challenges faced by clinicians. Furthermore, we evaluate current conservative and surgical treatment strategies and their outcomes, highlighting the noted limitations in the available evidence. By clarifying this poorly studied condition, we aim to stimulate further research and ultimately improve the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of patients suffering from ACH.
