Short-term outcomes of adding supervised joint mobilization to ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block plus home exercise for frozen shoulder: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

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
Objective: To compare 4-week short-term outcomes associated with adding supervised joint mobilization to ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) plus home exercise in patients with frozen shoulder and to explore factors associated with poor treatment response. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 124 patients with frozen shoulder who received SSNB between January 2024 and December 2024. The basic-treatment group received SSNB plus home exercise ( Results: After adjustment for the corresponding baseline value and age, compared with the basic-treatment group, the combined-treatment group had a lower VAS score [adjusted mean difference (AMD), -0.78; 95% CI, -1.37 to -0.19; Conclusion: In this single-center retrospective cohort, adding supervised joint mobilization to SSNB plus home exercise was associated with better 4-week pain, range-of-motion, and SPADI outcomes after adjustment for age and corresponding baseline values; the adjusted CMS difference was not statistically significant. These findings represent short-term associations and do not establish causality or long-term benefit.
