EVIDENCE-BASED REVIEW & RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE BRAZILIAN SOCIETY OF SHOULDER AND ELBOW SURGERY: HYALURONIC ACID VERSUS CORTICOSTEROID INJECTIONS FOR SHOULDER OSTEOARTHRITIS.
Review in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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: Shoulder osteoarthritis is an inflammatory and degenerative condition affecting the joint between the humeral head and the glenoid. It is estimated to affect up to 20% of patients aged 60 or older. In our setting, the use of hyaluronic acid is becoming increasingly employed for the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis. Therefore, this consensus aims to review the current literature to determine whether treatment with hyaluronic acid infiltration is more effective than corticosteroid infiltration in terms of pain outcome for the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis in adults. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted in the Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library and BVS databases up to November 2025, aiming to evaluate whether intra-articular injection with hyaluronic acid is more effective than with corticosteroids for the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis in adults. Results: The systematic review concluded that hyaluronic acid infiltration is more effective than corticosteroid infiltration for pain and function outcomes, mainly after six months post-infiltration. Conclusion: There is evidence, albeit of very low quality, demonstrating that hyaluronic acid injections are more effective than corticosteroid injections for the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis, with the best results for both treatment modalities occurring in mild to moderate cases of shoulder osteoarthritis.
