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
purposeThe objective of the present study is to examine how repairing the capsule affects the radiological and clinical results of treating acute Rockwood type V acromioclavicular joint dislocations using the endobutton method.
methodsThe study involved patients between the ages of 18 and 65 who had acute Rockwood type V acromioclavicular joint dislocation and were treated using the double endobutton technique, with or without capsule repair, from January 2021 to December 2023. Clinical and radiological assessment was conducted at various time points up to the last follow-up. Functional evaluation was conducted using the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scoring system, Constant-Murley Score (CMS), and Specific Acromioclavicular Score (SACS) at the final follow-up. Radiological evaluation involved the measurement of the coracoclavicular distance and evaluation of complications. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U and Pearson's Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact test.
resultsIn this study, a group of 23 patients were monitored over a period of approximately 20.91 ± 8.3 (12-36) months. Functional results were significantly different in favor of Group 2, when the groups were categorized from excellent to poor (p < 0.05). At the final radiograph, the mean coracoclavicular distance showed a statistically significant difference in favor of Group 2 (p = 0.039). Loss of reduction was statistically significantly seen more in Group 1 (p = 0.031). The total rate of complication was similarly in the two groups, showing no substantial variations.
conclusionThe combination of the double endobutton method and capsule repair is a secure and dependable procedure that provides sufficient stability. This technique has provided favorable clinical and radiologic results in the treatment of acute Rockwood type V acromioclavicular dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Retrospective comperative study.
