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
introductionInferior tendon quality, wide retraction, and tendon stumps that cannot be mobilized define the limits of what is technically feasible for open and arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction. The aim of this study was to develop a procedure that enables the open reconstruction of otherwise non-reconstructable rotator cuff tears.
methodsFrom 2014 to 2018, 23 operations were performed on 21 patients (mean age 63) using open procedure involving separating the infraspinatus tendon from the point of insertion on the greater tubercle and mobilizing it proximally and ventrally into the defective area. Any remaining defects were augmented using an autologous biceps tendon interposition graft. This augmentation was performed to achieve complete closure of the defect. Furthermore, the augmentation of the rupture zone was intended to strengthen the tendon stumps of the SSP and ISP to better neutralize the initial tensile forces. After a postoperative period of 12 months-4 years, clinical examination and functional tests were carried out, the Constant score was determined, and radiological and magnetic resonance imaging check-up examinations were performed.
resultsThe technique resulted in a low-tension closure of an otherwise "non-repairable" superior rotator cuff defect. All patients experienced a significant functional improvement, a reduction in pain, and an increase in muscle strength. An improvement in the Constant score from 48 points preoperatively to 87 points postoperatively (p < 0.05) was observed. In 19 patients (90%), the magnetic resonance image showed an intact reconstruction. Re-rupture was seen in three patients (14%).
conclusionThe surgical procedure using infraspinatus tendon shift and autologous biceps tendon interposition grafts resulted in the successful reconstruction of otherwise non-reconstructable massive rotator cuff lesions. The complete closure of the defect was observed.
