Arthroscopic Excision for Painful Acromial Fracture Nonunion After Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Acromial stress fracture is a well-known complication after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Although some patients are asymptomatic, others may present with reproducible pain to palpation and signs of impingement. Generally, the initial mode of treatment is conservative; however, surgical intervention is considered in patients with painful nonunion and displaced fragments. Although open reduction techniques are most common, Levy type I fragments may be amenable to excision. This technical note provides a stepwise approach to arthroscopic excision for painful nonunited acromial stress fractures after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
