1 · What the graph read from it

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

backgroundHuman placental hydrolysate (hPH) contains anti-inflammatory substances. This study aimed to analyze whether injecting hPH into the subacromial space could reduce pain in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

methodsThis single-blind, randomized controlled study enrolled 50 patients with shoulder impingement syndrome who were randomly assigned to either the hPH or placebo groups. All patients received three ultrasound-guided subacromial space injections of 4 mL hPH or normal saline every week. Outcome measurements included the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score during daily activity, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) utility index. Patients were followed up for nine weeks after the last injection.

resultsSignificant differences were noted in the VAS (p < 0.001) during daily activity, SPADI total score (p < 0.001), and EQ-5D-5L utility index (p < 0.001) nine weeks after the last injection between the hPH group and placebo group. Significant time effects were observed for all outcome measurements (all p < 0.001) in the hPH group but not in the placebo group. No severe complications, such as local infections or laboratory abnormalities, were reported during this study.

conclusionsSubacromial injections showed significant improvement in pain, functional level, and quality of life in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. Therefore, hPH can be used as an alternative treatment for shoulder impingement syndrome.
