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: Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are common in young, active populations. However, there is a paucity of literature reporting surgical outcomes following the treatment of AC joint injuries in the military population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of active-duty military members who underwent arthroscopic-assisted anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using a 4-strand suspensory fixation with taped sutures for treatment of high-grade AC joint injuries with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Methods: A retrospective review was performed on all patients with Rockwood grade IIIB-V AC joint separations who underwent anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using a 4-strand suspensory fixation with taped sutures at a single military treatment facility between January 2015 and May 2022. Clinical outcome measures included the Single-Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE) score and patient satisfaction using the Likert Scale. Radiographic outcomes were measured by classifying the amount of residual AC joint separation on postoperative radiographs utilizing the Rockwood classification. Results: Coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction a using 4-strand suspensory fixation with taped sutures was performed in 15 consecutive patients, all of which were active-duty military males with a mean age of 35.8 years. Preoperatively, there were 10 patients with grade IIIB injuries, 1 patient with a grade IV injury, and 4 patients with grade V injuries. The average preoperative SANE score was 40.0. The average length of time from injury to surgery was 46.5 weeks. Patient-reported outcomes were available for 12 of the 15 patients (80%) at an average of 4.9 years postoperatively with an average postoperative SANE score of 77.1 ( Conclusion: Coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction a using 4-strand suspensory fixation with taped sutures resulted in significantly improved radiographic and patient-reported outcomes in this retrospective review of active-duty military members with grade IIIB-V AC joint separations.
