Correlation between retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and stiffness of the shoulder.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and passive range of motion of the shoulder.
methodsPassive range of motion before and after surgery was compared between the two groups.
resultsThe healed and retear groups comprised 86.4% and 13.6% shoulders, respectively. Passive external rotation with the arm at the side at 3 months postoperatively was significantly smaller in the healed group than retear group.
conclusionsThis difference seemed to be associated with stiffness in external rotation of the shoulder and the process of cuff healing after surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Case-Control Study, Treatment Study.
