Three-Dimensional Sectional Measurements of Shoulder Muscle Volume and Computed Tomography Density to Monitor Serial Postoperative Volume Changes in the Transverse Force Couple of Shoulder Muscles in Anterior Shoulder Instability.
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
purposeIn this study, we evaluated serial changes in shoulder muscle volume and computed tomography (CT) density of the transverse force couple (i.e., subscapularis (Ssc) vs. infraspinatus and teres minor (Isp+TM) muscles) after Bankart repair surgery in patients with anterior shoulder instability (ASI).
methodsFour consecutive CT scans (obtained preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months) of 24 shoulders from 24 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were examined. To generate muscle models, the Ssc and Isp+TM muscles were segmented. The reconstructed models were separated by the Y-view plane, and the planes were situated 2.5 cm and 5 cm medial to the Y-view plane. Balance was evaluated using volume ratio (VR
