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

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of transfer energy capacitive and resistive (TECAR) therapy on primary shoulder adhesive capsulitis by assessing the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and shoulder passive range of flexion, abduction, and external rotation. Methods: Thirty subjects with shoulder adhesive capsulitis, having a minimum 3 months history of shoulder pain, aged 41 to 72 years, were randomized to receive either physiotherapy (PT) or PT plus TECAR therapy (TT). Both groups received 8 sessions of PT treatment, including modalities and exercises, and the TT group received an additional 10 minutes of TECAR treatment in the resistive mode. SPADI and shoulder passive range of motion were evaluated before treatment, 1 day after the 8th session, and after 1 month. Results: Significant changes in all variables were observed in both groups ( Conclusion: In this preliminary study, TT and PT treatment both showed improvements in shoulder passive ROM, pain, and disability. There were no significant differences between the groups.
