Pectoralis Major Tendon Rupture in an Occupational Medicine Setting: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pectoralis major (PM) rupture is a rare injury, commonly misdiagnosed, that affects mostly young male athletes aged 20-40 years. This type of injury is typically associated with weight lifting, especially bench pressing. In an occupational medicine setting, it is extremely rare and not much reported in the literature. We present the case of a 30-year-old trauma technician male who presented with right shoulder and chest pain following a popping sensation while pushing in full momentum a patient on a gurney accidentally set on break mode. PM rupture was suspected clinically. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis and revealed a complete rupture of the sternal head of PM. Surgical reconstruction was performed to restore the anatomy and functionality of the shoulder girdle.
