Isolated Calcific Deposition in the Subacromial Bursa: A Rare Case Report and Arthroscopic Management.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Calcific tendinopathy is a common disorder of the shoulder characterized by the deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals within the rotator cuff tendons. It is part of the spectrum of basic calcium phosphate crystal deposition disease. However, isolated deposition within the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa is rare and may present diagnostic challenges. Case Report: A 40-year-old female presented with persistent right shoulder pain and limited range of motion. Imaging revealed calcific deposits within the subacromial region. After failure of conservative management, arthroscopic removal was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed dystrophic calcification without malignancy. At 6-month follow-up, the patient demonstrated complete symptom resolution. Conclusion: Subacromial bursal calcific deposition is an uncommon manifestation of calcific tendinopathy. Arthroscopic management is both diagnostic and therapeutic, with excellent clinical outcomes.
