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
objectiveClinically, simple glenoid fractures are less prevalent, and surgical treatment of anterior glenoid fractures is often based on the classic anterior approach (delto-pectoral approach), while there are few reports on the efficacy of the trans-axillary approach. The objective of this study is to explore the clinical efficacy of both approaches in the treatment of Ideberg Types I and II scapular glenoid fractures.
methodsThe trans-axillary approach is the surgical method of exposing a glenoid fracture along the anterior edge of the latissimus dorsi muscle through an axillary incision. In terms of the Ideberg classification of scapular glenoid fractures, 36 patients with Ideberg Types I and II scapular glenoid fractures were retrospectively analyzed. There were 22 males and 14 females, and 9 cases of traffic injuries, 6 cases of high fall injuries (> 1 m), 18 cases of fall injuries (≤ 1 m), and 3 cases of strain injuries. Meanwhile, there were 29 cases of Type Ia, 2 cases of Type Ib, and 5 cases of Type II. Based on the surgical approach, the patients were divided into the trans-axillary approach group (21 cases) and the delto-pectoral approach group (15 cases). The following data were collected: general information including age, gender, and body mass index; hospitalization time, operation time, bleeding volume; disability of the arm, shoulder, and hand (Quick DASH [QDASH]); and patient satisfaction. Comparisons between the groups were made using the t test for two independent samples.
resultsOperative time was significantly shorter in the trans-axillary approach group than in the delto-pectoral approach group (t = 6.39, p < 0.05). Constant-Murley score was significantly higher in the trans-axillary approach group than in the delto-pectoral approach group (t = 4.96, p < 0.05). QDASH score was lower in the trans-axillary approach group than in the delto-pectoral approach group (t = 2.66, p < 0.05). Patient satisfaction was higher in the trans-axillary approach group than in the delto-pectoral approach group (t = 4.5, p < 0.05). All fractures healed by the final follow-up.
conclusionTrans-axillary approach to the treatment of scapular glenoid fractures is less traumatic and less painful, associated with good recovery of shoulder joint function and high patient satisfaction, and more advantageous compared with the delto-pectoral approach.
