The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04587180 (The Correlation Between the Bone Mineral Density of the Proximal Humerus and Cutting-through at the Greater Tuberosity in Arthroscopic Suture-bridge Rotator Cuff Repair), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
unlabelledWe propose that the measurement of the bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal humerus be standardized using the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in patients supposed to undergo rotator cuff repair surgery as well as those with the fracture of the proximal humerus as the BMD of the proximal humerus is decreased in these patients.
introductionWe propose that the measurement of the BMD of the proximal humerus be standardized using the DXA in patients who are supposed to undergo rotator cuff repair surgery as well as those with the fracture of the proximal humerus.
methodsWe conducted the prospective study in 213 patients with unilateral rotator cuff tear but without contralateral shoulder pain or disease. In these patients, we preoperatively measured the BMD of the bilateral proximal humeri with a repeat measurement in 20 patients. We predefined three regions of interest (ROIs) in the proximal humerus with the consideration of the rotator cuff repair surgery as well as proximal humeral fractures.
resultsThe measurement of the BMD of the proximal humerus using the DXA showed excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient > .90). BMD values of all three ROIs in the affected shoulder were significantly lower than those in asymptomatic shoulder (all p < 0.05). In female patients, the BMD values of ROIs in bilateral shoulder were significantly lower than those in male patients (all p < 0.001). In multiple regressions, however, there were no significant correlations between other clinical characteristics, except for the gender, and the BMD of GT in the affected shoulder.
conclusionsIt is imperative that the bone quality of the proximal humerus be accurately evaluated prior to surgery in patients who are supposed to undergo rotator cuff repair using suture anchors as well as in those with proximal humeral fractures. This is because the BMD of the proximal humerus is decreased in these patients.
