Reliability of Measuring Coracohumeral Ligament Stiffness with Different Shoulder Positions of Frozen Shoulders.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) is utilized to detect the stiffness of the coracohumeral ligament (CHL) for the assessment of a frozen shoulder. However, the consistency of shoulder joint posture during the detection process has not been adequately established. This study aims to evaluate the reliability of various commonly employed shoulder postures in measuring CHL stiffness. Methods: SWE was used to assess CHL stiffness in 55 patients with phase I frozen shoulder by two independent observers. Two measurements were taken, with a 1-week interval, at three shoulder positions: neutral, 30° external rotation, and 60° external rotation. The intra- and inter-observer reliability of CHL stiffness measurements were analyzed using a two-way randomized model with an intragroup correlation coefficient. Results: Significant differences between intra- and inter-observer measurements of CHL stiffness in the neutral position were observed ( Conclusion: The reliability of SWE in assessing the stiffness of the CHL in patients with phase I frozen shoulder at 60° external rotation is highly satisfactory.
