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

Acute injuries of the shoulder girdle commonly result from sports activities and lead to imaging studies. Radiologists who interpret these studies should be familiar with traumatic mechanisms and the imaging manifestations of glenohumeral dislocation, acromioclavicular sprain, rotator cuff tear, labral tear, osseous contusion or fracture, and myotendinous strain. Imaging findings are crucial for making accurate diagnoses, grading the severity of injuries, guiding treatment plans, and managing the athletes' expectations for rehabilitation and return to sport. In this review article, we address common and uncommon injuries in both young and mature athletes. Focusing on magnetic resonance imaging, we provide examples of classic injuries and discuss pitfalls that challenge diagnostic interpretation.
