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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: This study investigated novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, including intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and fat analysis & calculation technique (FACT) to detect early pathologic changes in rotator cuff (RC) muscle in patients with shoulder pain and evaluate rehabilitation effects. Methods: MRI examinations, including IVIM and FACT, and clinical scores were collected in patients with unilateral shoulder pain at baseline ( Results: At baseline, D* values of the affected sides in four RC muscles were lower compared to the contralateral sides ( Conclusion: Capillary flow impairment (reflected by D*) appears more prominent than fat infiltration (reflected by FF) in the early RC muscle degeneration. IVIM-derived parameters, particularly D* may assist clinicians in detecting early-stage muscle degeneration and provide a non-invasive method for monitoring rehabilitation outcomes.
