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
The lumbar facet capsular ligament (FCL) articulates with six degrees of freedom during spinal motions of flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation. The lumbar FCL is composed of highly aligned collagen fiber bundles on the posterior surface (oriented primarily laterally between the rigid articular facets) and irregularly oriented elastin on the anterior surface. Because the FCL is a capsule, it has multiple insertion sites across the lumbar facet joint, which, along with its material structure, give rise to complicated deformations in vivo. We performed planar equibiaxial mechanical tests on excised healthy cadaveric lumbar FCLs (n=6) to extract normal and shear reaction forces, and fit sample-specific two-fiber-family finite element models to the experimental force data. An eight-parameter anisotropic, hyperelastic model was used. Shear forces at maximum extension (mean values of 1.68N and 3.01N in the two directions) were of comparable magnitude to the normal forces perpendicular to the aligned collagen fiber bundles (4.67N) but smaller than normal forces in the fiber direction (16.11N). Inclusion of the experimental shear forces in the model optimization yielded fits with highly aligned fibers oriented at a specific angle across all samples, typically with one fiber population aligned nearly horizontally and the other at an oblique angle. Conversely, models fit to only the normal force data resulted in a broad range of fiber angles with low specificity. We found that shear forces generated through planar equibiaxial extension aided the model fit in describing the anisotropic nature of the FCL surface.
