1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine the association between lateral epicondylalgia (LE) and trigger points (TrPs) in the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and triceps muscles. Methods: A total of 26 subjects, aged 18-60 years, diagnosed with LE, were included in the study. The presence of TrPs in the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and triceps muscles on both the affected and unaffected sides was assessed. The association and strength of the association between LE and TrPs were analyzed using the chi-square test and Cramer's V criteria, respectively. Results: Significant associations were observed between LE and TrPs in the triceps muscle (LE-R / TTrPs-R chi-square (X2): 4.625, Conclusions: Lateral epicondylalgia was associated with infraspinatus, triceps and, supraspinatus TrPs. There was no association with TrPs on the unaffected side.
