Surgical Release of a Calcified Conjoint Tendon Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 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
A 69-year-old female with a history of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty presented with persistent anterior shoulder pain and restricted range of motion. Imaging subsequently demonstrated calcific changes of the conjoint tendon. Targeted corticosteroid injections provided temporary symptom relief; however, recurrence after discontinuation due to steroid-induced hyperglycemia prompted surgical tendon release. Postoperatively, range of motion improvements were sustained, but anterior shoulder pain recurred and Quick-DASH scores worsened by the 6-month follow-up. Although calcific changes were identified within the conjoint tendon, the clinical course suggests that calcification may represent a contributing or secondary phenomenon rather than a definitive primary pain generator. Conjoint tendon release may improve mobility, although pain relief may be unpredictable.
