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
Background: Rotator cuff repair is a common orthopaedic procedure that provides pain relief for many patients, but unfortunately, an estimated 20% to 70% of repair procedures will fail. Previous research has shown that elongation (ie, retraction) of a repaired tendon is common even in patients with a repair construct that appears intact on magnetic resonance imaging. However, it is unknown how this repair tissue functions under dynamic conditions. Purpose: To quantify static retraction and maximum dynamic elongation of repair tissue after rotator cuff repair. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Data from 9 patients were analyzed for this study. During surgery, a 3.1-mm tantalum bead was sutured to the supraspinatus tendon, medial to the repair site. Glenohumeral kinematics were assessed at 1 week (static) and 3 months (static and during scapular-plane abduction) after surgery using a biplanar videoradiographic system. The 3-dimensional position of the bead was calculated relative to the tendon's insertion on the humerus (ie, bead-to-insertion distance). Static retraction was calculated as the change in the bead-to-insertion distance under static conditions between 1 week and 3 months after surgery, and maximum dynamic elongation was calculated as the maximal positive change in the bead-to-insertion distance during dynamic motion relative to the start of motion. The magnitudes of static retraction and maximum dynamic elongation were assessed with 1-sample Results: At 3 months after surgery, static retraction occurred in all patients by a mean of 10.0 ± 9.1 mm ( Conclusion: Repair tissue elongation (static retraction and maximum dynamic elongation) appeared to be a common and significant finding at 3 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Dynamic elongation of repair tissue during scapular-plane abduction exhibited 1 of 2 distinct patterns, which may suggest different patterns of supraspinatus mechanical and neuromuscular function.
