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

Transarterial embolization (TAE) is a minimally invasive option for adhesive capsulitis (AC) refractory to conventional therapy. By targeting the underlying inflammatory process through reduction of neo-angiogenesis and nerve stimulation, TAE aims to achieve meaningful pain relief. Early studies report promising outcomes, although available data remain heterogeneous in technique and assessment. This review provides recommendations for performing adhesive capsulitis embolization (ACE) to promote standardized practice and support consistent methodology in future research. Patient selection criteria, key technical aspects of arteriography and embolization, and follow-up protocols are detailed. An updated summary of the literature is presented, along with an appendix designed to facilitate standardized data collection.Level of EvidenceExpert review Level 5.
