Comparative Analysis of Ultrasound and MRI in Diagnosing Rotator Cuff Injuries in a Tertiary Care Setting.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in comparison to magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating rotator cuff injuries, while also examining the reliability of ultrasonography as a primary imaging technique. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study of 84 individuals focused on those with shoulder pain indicating rotator cuff disease. After an ultrasound, all patients had an MRI. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and diagnostic accuracy were calculated for tendon and bursal structures. Results: The findings indicate that ultrasound exhibited the highest sensitivity for identifying supraspinatus tears at 83.85%. Additionally, it showed a notable specificity in assessing subscapularis (94.74%), biceps tendon (96.65%), and bursitis-related conditions. A statistically significant correlation was observed in the evaluation of the subscapularis using MRI, with a Conclusion: The high specificity and accessibility of this imaging tool underscore its importance as a primary option, while MRI continues to play a crucial role in addressing complex or posterior shoulder pathologies.
