Review in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
backgroundESWT is a safe, evidence-based, and effective procedure that has proven itself in almost all areas of medical care. To ensure high-quality use of this effective method, it is essential that it is applied in accordance with the applicable standards. METHODOLOGY: Traditional, narrative review.
resultsThe increasing proportion of physically demanding occupations, increasing lack of exercise, (over)aging of the population, and work intensification are leading to an increasing number of tendinopathies, myofascial dysfunctions, and chronic pain conditions. In this context, ESWT is becoming a relevant tool in modern, function-oriented occupational, preventive, rehabilitative, and geriatric medicine. ESWT usually acts as an "enabler" and "accelerator", i.e., a biological activator of functional processes. ESWT is not a passive procedure, but rather an activator that often enables functional treatments through pain reduction and regenerative effects. ESWT combines regeneration, prevention, rehabilitation, mobility, participation, and economic sustainability and will continue to gain importance in an aging society.
conclusionsESWT can be highly relevant in multimodal applications in prevention, rehabilitation, occupational medicine, geriatrics, and nursing care. Increased use of ESWT in prevention, rehabilitation, occupational medicine, and geriatrics, with reimbursement by the public health system, should be encouraged.
