Hydroxyapatite Deposition Disease as Cause of Atraumatic Shoulder Pain: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 2025. 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
introductionHydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) is caused by the presence of hydroxyapatite crystals in periarticular spaces oftentimes leading to inflammation, pain, and decreased range of motion. CASE REPORT: A 40-year-old right hand dominant female presented with three days of atraumatic right shoulder pain. Radiographs of the right shoulder were negative. Computed tomography revealed a hydroxyapatite deposit adjacent to the acromioclavicular joint. The patient was managed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a referral to orthopedic surgery.
conclusionMany instances of HADD will not be diagnosed on plain radiographs, and heightened awareness will provide confidence when ordering confirmatory imaging. Management is typically conservative, however, referral to orthopedic surgery is recommended to ensure improvement and to assess the need for more invasive procedures.
