1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The results of our survey conducted among the members of the European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and the Elbow is presented in this article. The two most important features of frozen shoulder are movement restriction and pain. Frozen shoulder is considered secondary if it occurs after surgery or trauma. Corticosteroid injections are recommended as the first choice of pharmacological therapy. Patient education and physical therapy are the first choice of non-surgical therapy. The rate of remaining symptoms was observed in less than 20% of patients.
