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

Tears of the pectoralis major tendon have become more common due to the rising popularity of weightlifting and contact sports, yet they have not been described in young adolescents. A 13-year-old female high-level gymnastic athlete presented with left shoulder pain after a fall off the uneven bars. After excluding other diagnoses, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a pectoralis major tendon tear. The tendon was surgically reattached using all-suture anchors via a deltopectoral approach. Postoperative care included using a shoulder immobilizer for four weeks, followed by a careful shoulder rehabilitation protocol. The recovery was uneventful.
