Changes in pain and disability in patients with shoulder pain after three months of digitally delivered exercise and patient education.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05402514 (Digitally Delivered Exercise and Education Treatment for Shoulder Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo describe and examine potential predictors of changes in pain and disability in patients with shoulder pain who have completed 3 months of digitally delivered treatment comprising exercise and patient education.
designRetrospective cohort study (clinicaltrials.org Nr: NCT05402514). SUBJECTS: Patients with shoulder pain who completed treatment (n = 682).
methodsPrimary outcome was change in shoulder pain (numerical rating scale 0-10; minimal clinical important change: at least 2 points). Pain and disability were reported on the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. Changes in outcomes were analysed with paired sample t-tests. Association with potential predictors (sex, age, education, body mass index, physical activity, symptom duration, baseline pain/function, and treatment adherence) were explored with linear regression models Results: Statistically significant improvements were found for all treatment outcomes. Minimal clinically important change in pain was reached by 54.5% (n = 372). Higher baseline level of symptoms, short symptom duration, and high treatment adherence were associated with greater changes.
conclusionPatients with shoulder pain reported significant reductions in pain and disability following treatment, but the clinical relevance of the improvements has not been confirmed. Satisfactory treatment adherence, higher baseline pain and shorter symptom duration predicted larger improvements. A control group is needed to evaluate the actual effect of the treatment.
