USMSIT/NMUSIT Fundamental Guide on Diagnostic and Interventional Shoulder Ultrasonography.
Review 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
High-resolution ultrasound (US) has become an indispensable tool in evaluating and managing shoulder pain. It offers real-time visualization of tendons, ligaments, bursae, and joint recesses while enabling dynamic assessment and image-guided intervention. Building on the EURO-MUSCULUS/USPRM framework, this guideline presents a standardized, anatomy-based approach to diagnostic and interventional shoulder ultrasonography. Developed under the educational mission of the Ultrasound and Musculoskeletal/Neuromuscular Sonography Initiative in Taiwan - through its flagship programs Ultrasound Musculoskeletal Workshop in Taiwan (USMSIT) and Neuromuscular Ultrasound Workshop in Taiwan (NMUSIT) - the protocol integrates didactic instruction, live demonstration, and structured hands-on training to ensure reproducible and clinically relevant examinations. The guideline details systematic scanning of the long head of the biceps, subscapularis, acromioclavicular joint, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and posterior glenohumeral joint. It is also supplemented by tripartite visual documentation comprising cadaveric dissection, regional illustrations, and paired US images from both high-end and handheld devices. Characteristic sonographic findings for common shoulder pathologies - including biceps peritendinous effusion, acromioclavicular arthropathy, calcific tendinopathy, rotator cuff tears, and subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis - are described. In addition, practical pearls for US-guided interventions such as the long head of the biceps tendon, acromioclavicular joint, subdeltoid bursa, and posterior glenohumeral injections are provided. Emphasizing the principle of "diagnosis ahead of intervention," this guideline bridges educational precision and procedural application-fostering consistent training as well as safer and more effective management of shoulder disorders. Its standardized image - anatomy framework further facilitates integration into artificial intelligence - assisted systems for automated view recognition and measurement. Therefore, it aims to advance clinical, educational, and research endeavors in musculoskeletal ultrasonography.
