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

Background: Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is an inflammatory pathology of the shoulder of multifactorial etiology, without having a clear association, and its relationship with the presence of psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression at the time of diagnosis has recently been studied. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, in which the Goldberg scale (for anxiety and depression detection) was applied in all patients with a diagnosis of frozen shoulder assessed in the outpatient area. Results: A total of 60 patients with a diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis were obtained, 53 female, 7 male, who were subjected to the application of the Goldberg scale questionnaire, which shows that 6.6% of patients present a positive result for the presence of anxiety, 6.6% for the presence of depression, 71.6% for both disorders, and only 15% of the total sample did not present a concomitant psychological disorder. Conclusion: The presence of psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression are a factor associated with the diagnosis of frozen shoulder with relative frequency, and should be part of our evaluation at the time of care in the outpatient area.
