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
purposeTo evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of medial row anchor insertion between 90° or 45° (deadman) angle in the suture-bridge rotator cuff repair of medium-to-large rotator cuff tears.
methodsThis retrospective analysis included 113 consecutive patients undergoing arthroscopic suture-bridge repair for medium-to-large rotator cuff tears (mean tear size: 2.8 × 2.3 cm) between 2010 and 2013. The patients were divided into two groups: group I (53 patients) and group II (60 patients) involving 90° and 45° medial row anchors, respectively. The conventional lateral row anchors were inserted in the suture-bridge repair. The clinical outcomes at 2 years and radiological outcomes including re-tear or footprint coverage (anteroposterior length and mediolateral width) of the repaired tendon using postoperative MRI were evaluated.
resultsClinical outcome scores were significantly improved in both groups. However, Group I (90° anchor insertion group) showed better clinical scores without the difference of range of motion. The postoperative MRI revealed enlarged footprint coverage with 90° medial row anchor. The repaired footprint cuff size (mediolateral width) in the coronal plane MRI showed a statistically significant difference (45°: 19 mm vs. 90°: 24 mm) (p < 0.05).
conclusionsEnhanced clinical outcomes and additional anatomical footprint coverage (coronal width of repaired tendon) in the suture-bridge repair are obtained with the 90° medial row anchors compared with the 45° medial row anchors. These findings would guide clinical application of 90° medial row anchor insertion for further medialization in the medium-to-large rotator cuff tears. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III (retrospective comparative trial).
