Ultrasound-guided injection treatments for tendinopathy: an update.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 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
The choice of treatment for chronic tendinopathy and related peritendinous conditions has become challenging as multiple options are available. When conservative treatments fail, injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), corticosteroids, and hyaluronic acid have become important in the management of these conditions. Other interventions, such as dry-needling, percutaneous tenotomy, percutaneous release, and hydrodissection, may also be used. Ultrasound guidance allows real-time visualization of the needle relative to its target and adjacent neurovascular structures. This is particularly advantageous for deep or small-caliber tendons, for procedures requiring precise intratendinous or peritendinous needle placement (e.g., PRP injection, hydrodissection), and for percutaneous release, where a blind approach carries a materially higher risk of neurovascular or tendon injury. This review summarizes the mechanism of action, technique, evidence, and indications for the injection treatments currently used for tendinopathy, and outlines the general principles of ultrasound-guided injection technique.
