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
Background: Understanding factors associated with improvements in subjective shoulder function after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) helps clinicians identify targets for postoperative rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with subjective shoulder function after ARCR. Methods: Patients who underwent ARCR for rotator cuff tear with at least 12 months of follow-up were included. Subjective shoulder function was assessed preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively, using the Shoulder36 (Sh36) 5 domain scores (pain, range of motion [ROM], strength, activities of daily living, and general health). Stepwise multivariable regression analysis was performed to extract the relevant factors for each Sh36 domain score using active shoulder ROM, isometric shoulder and elbow strength, pain score, demographic data, intraoperative findings, medical complications, and cuff integrity. Results: A total of 104 patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. Multivariable regression analysis identified active abduction ROM as the factor associated with 5 Sh36 domain scores at preoperatively. At 6 months postoperatively, isometric external rotation strength at the body side or 90° abduction position, but not the ROM factor, was identified as a significant associated factor with 5 Sh36 domain scores. At 12 months postoperatively, pain score was the most associated factor with pain, ROM, strength, and activities of daily living domain scores of Sh36. Conclusion: Factors associated with subjective shoulder function after ARCR differed between the preoperative and postoperative periods. Postoperative treatment, including rehabilitation, should be modified according to the postoperative period after ARCR.
