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 characterize the morphology of the infraspinatus (IS) tendon and evaluate the bony anatomy of the humeral head (HH) to determine if there is a correlation between HH measurements and the amount of available IS tendon.
methodsThe superior-inferior width as well as the medial-lateral (M-L) length of the inferior and superior portions of the IS tendon were measured in 15 human cadaveric shoulders. Three measurements were then obtained for each corresponding humeral head: (1) anterior to posterior (A-P) distance, (2) midcoronal humeral head distance (MCHH), and (3) M-L distance. Pearson correlation coefficients (
resultsThe mean ± SD HH measurements were 44.3 ± 3.3 mm for A-P, 49.3 ± 3.4 mm at the MCHH, and 52.2 ± 3.4 mm in the M-L plane. The mean M-L length of the superior portion of the IS tendon was significantly different from the inferior portion (42.4 vs 31.0 mm,
conclusionsThe superior M-L IS tendon length was significantly greater than the inferior M-L length. The M-L HH and the AP HH distances were significantly correlated to the M-L length of the superior portion of the IS tendon. These relationships may provide an estimation of the length of available IS tendon to help guide the management of Hill-Sachs lesions (HSLs). CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Knowledge of the available IS length can help optimize the management of HSLs following anterior shoulder dislocation. If IS tendon M-L length is less than HSL M-L length, then remplissage may result in capsulomyodesis rather than tenodesis. Placement of the superior anchor in a position that is as superior as possible within the HSL defect will maximize the opportunity for IS tenodesis.
