Surgical Management of Acute Rockwood Grade III Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocations: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Injuries of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) occur frequently in young and active people. The best management of acute grade III injuries has been a source of controversy and extensive debate. When surgery is indicated, there is still no gold standard surgical technique for treating acute grade III ACJ injuries. The methodology of this review was a comprehensive search of PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases using various combinations of the keywords "Rockwood," "type III," "grade III," "treatment," "surgery," "acromioclavicular joint," and "dislocation," since the inception of the databases to December 2020. Surgical techniques were divided into two groups. In group 1 were ACJ fixation techniques using hardware such as the hook plate, Kirschner wires, and wire cerclage; group 2 included coracoclavicular (CC) ligament fixation/reconstruction techniques using double buttons, TightRope®, suture anchors, Endobuttons, the Infinity-Lock
