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
Purpose: This study assessed the serial volume changes in multiple shoulder muscles simultaneously following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) by a three-dimensional (3D) modeling-based sectional measurement. These volume changes were correlated with background preoperative factors. Methods: Four consecutive magnetic resonance imaging scans (preoperatively and postoperatively at 3, 6, and 12 months) of 33 shoulders from 31 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were examined. We focused on the sectional volume differences of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis between preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively (Dif.pre.3mo) and between 3 and 12 months postoperatively (Dif.3.12mo). The correlation between volume differences and clinical/demographic parameters was determined by a multivariate analysis. Results: No statistically significant differences were observed for most serial changes in the shoulder muscle volumes. The tear-site muscles (supraspinatus and infraspinatus) showed similar tendencies for volume changes, whereas the non-tear-site muscles (teres minor and subscapularis) differed. A negative correlation was observed between Dif.pre.3mo and Dif.3.12mo for the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor. These perioperative volume differences might correlate with tear size and symptom duration in the supraspinatus, as well as with a history of steroid injections and work and sports activity levels in the infraspinatus and teres minor. Conclusion: The serial volume changes in multiple shoulder muscles after ARCR measured using our 3D sectional approach exhibited different tendencies and clinical implications depending on the primary and non-primary site of tears. Our method may serve as a potential indicator to facilitate muscle recovery and prevent the progression of postoperative muscle atrophy.
