1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

[Purpose] This study was conducted to show the directional specificity of a reaching motion and to verify the three-joint coordination of the sternoclavicular joint, shoulder joint, and elbow joint. [Participants and Methods] The participants in this study were 10 healthy adult males. A reaching task for the upper limbs in a horizontal plane was assessed and measured. The trajectory, joint angle, and joint range of motion were calculated using a three-dimensional motion analyzer. [Results] The joint angle changes of the three joints were related in a circular radiation pattern. The sternoclavicular joint and shoulder joint were related in a fan-shaped radiation pattern. On the other hand, the sternoclavicular joint and elbow joint were related in a linear functional relation except for T3 and T8. [Conclusion] The results suggest that the coordinated motion of the shoulder joint and elbow joint controls the direction and extent of the motion track, while the coordinated motion of the sternoclavicular joint and elbow joint finely regulates the track. There also is a degree of difficulty in motion depending on the direction, which is apparently defined by a combination of joint motions.
