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
objectiveArthroscopic anterior acromioplasty (AAAP) for treatment of symptomatic subacromial spur. Arthroscopic lateral acromioplasty (ALAP) to reduce a pathological critical shoulder angle (CSA) and prevent rotator cuff re-tear after reconstruction. INDICATIONS: AAAP is indicated for acromial impingement due to an anterolateral acromial spur with or without bursa-sided rotator cuff lesion. ALAP is indicated concomitant to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair if the CSA is pathologically increased. RELATIVE CONTRAINDICATIONS: Irreparable rotator cuff tear with acetabularization of the acromion due to anterosuperior escape of the humeral head or symptomatic os acromiale can contraindicate for AAAP. Dehiscence of the origin of the deltoid muscle or symptomatic os acromiale can contraindicate for ALAP. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: To preform AAAP, arthroscopic subacromial decompression is followed by anterolateral resection of an acromion spur or ossification of the coracoacromial ligament. To perform ALAP, arthroscopic subacromial decompression and reconstruction of a rotator cuff-tear is followed by reduction of a pathologically increased CSA by resection of the lateral edge of the acromion. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: After isolated AAAP, physiotherapy can be performed without restriction. After AAAP or ALAP combined with rotator cuff repair, immobilization in a brace is recommended. The use of pain medication should be standardized and adapted to individual pain levels.
