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
abstractPostoperative tendon healing is still a matter of concern after rotator cuff repair. Several techniques have been introduced to help improve this healing process. Among them, the bone marrow is commonly used source and a research subject for methods using stem cells to promote wound healing process. A number of studies have shown that bone marrow stem cells can travel up through the holes on the rotator cuff insertion sites, contributing into the rotator cuff repair process, increasing the efficiency of tendon healing and improving clinical results. PATIENTS AND
methodsCross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 41 rotator cuff tear patients. The microfractures for these patients were calculated beforehand, which have great depth but small diameter, based on the anatomical characteristic of the rotator cuff tear insertions of Vietnamese people. Patients' rotator cuff tendon healing processes were evaluated using ultrasound after surgery. Final tendon healing and clinical results ultimately rely on MRI assessments, classified according to Sugaya's classification, UCLA and ASES scale.
resultsNo cases of rupture and fracture of the greater tubercle was recorded. There was a clear progression of tendon healing on ultrasound according to postoperative follow-up time-stamps (1 month, 3 months). MRI images evaluation also reveals at the latest follow-up time, according to Sugaya classification, the ratio of tendon healing was 87.8%, while the percentage of re-rupture was 12.2%. ASES and average UCLA scale were collected at the end of the study, respectively as 95.41 ± 5.45 and 32.36 ± 2.53.
conclusionThe technique's microfractures characteristics based on the rotator cuff tear insertion anatomy ensures a secure, straightforward approach along with promising results in terms of tendon healing rate and postoperative functional outcomes.
