Effects of Neuromuscular Physiotherapy on Pain, Range of Motion, and Function in Shoulder-Related Disorders: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Pain research & management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Shoulder-related disorders are highly prevalent, with the global incidence being on the rise. Neuromuscular rehabilitation aims to optimize muscle function and motor performance by modulating the neuromuscular system, which comprises the central and peripheral nervous systems. This study aimed to synthesize evidence on neuromuscular rehabilitation for shoulder disorders, evaluating its effects on pain, range of motion, and shoulder function. English-language literature was retrieved from the PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases up to June 2025 via search terms such as "Shoulder," "Neuromuscular," and "Rehabilitation". The inclusion criterion was randomized controlled trials that used neuromuscular rehabilitation techniques for shoulder diseases. The primary outcome was pain improvement, and secondary indicators included joint range of motion and function. The effect size was the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was evaluated via I
