The relationship between shoulder pain and joint position sense, postural control, tactile sensation, and muscle strength in chronic hemiplegia.
Observational study in BMC neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06793852 (Investigation of the Effect of Shoulder Pain on Joint Position Sense, Postural Control, Tactical Sensory and Muscle Strength in Chronic Hemiplegic Patients), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between shoulder pain and joint position sense, postural control, tactile sensation, and muscle strength in chronic hemiplegic stroke patients.
methodsThe study was designed as a cross-sectional descriptive study, with 78 individuals with chronic stroke (48 males, 30 females). The participants were divided into two groups: those with shoulder pain and those without. Assessments were performed on the affected upper limb and included shoulder proprioception (inclinometer), postural control (Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS-T)), tactile sensation (Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament test), gross grip strength (dynamometer), and pinch grip strength (pinch meter).
resultsThe findings of the study revealed significant differences between individuals with and without shoulder pain across joint position sense, postural control, tactile sensation, and grip strength (all p < 0.05). Effect size analyses indicated that these differences ranged from small-to-moderate (d = 0.49-0.75) to large-to-very large (d ≥ 0.98), supporting the clinical relevance of the observed group differences.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that shoulder pain is significantly associated with motor and sensory functions in chronic hemiplegic individuals. It also underscores the necessity for rehabilitation programs to be tailored according to individuals' pain conditions, emphasizing the critical role of this factor in patient recovery processes.
