Muscle compensation strategies to maintain glenohumeral joint stability with increased rotator cuff tear severity: A simulation study.
Article in Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Rotator cuff tear (RCT) in older adults may cause decreased muscle forces and disrupt the force balance at the glenohumeral joint, compromising joint stability. Our objective was to identify how increased RCT severity affects glenohumeral joint loading and muscle activation patterns using a computational model. Muscle volume measurements were used to scale a nominal upper limb model's peak isometric muscle forces to represent force-generating characteristics of an average older adult male. Increased RCT severity was represented by systematically decreasing peak isometric muscle forces of supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis. Five static postures in both scapular and frontal planes were evaluated. Results revealed that in both scapular and frontal planes, the peak glenohumeral joint contact force magnitude remained relatively consistent across increased RCT severity (average 1.5% and -4.2% change, respectively), and a relative balance of the transverse force couple is maintained even in massive RCT models. Predicted muscle activations of intact muscles, like teres minor, increased (average 5-30% and 4-17% in scapular and frontal planes, respectively) with greater RCT severity. This suggests that the system is prioritizing glenohumeral joint stability, even with severe RCT, and that unaffected muscles play a compensatory role to help stabilize the joint.
