Effects of ultrasound-guided nerve hydro-dissection on severe post stroke shoulder pain: a pilot study.
Article in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2026. 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: Shoulder pain is a major complication following stroke that substantially compromises patients' quality of life, despite the availability of various therapeutic options. Objective: This pilot study investigates the efficacy of ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection in treating severe post-stroke shoulder pain. Methods: Twelve eligible subjects were randomly assigned to the nerve hydro-dissection group ( Results: The VAS scores in both groups had shown a decreasing trend at the four time points and there was a significant difference between the groups ( Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection shows promising preliminary efficacy for post-stroke shoulder pain in this pilot study, warranting further investigation in larger, sham-controlled trials with longer follow-up.
