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: With the increasing popularity of shoulder arthroplasty, indications and usage has expanded to younger more physically active patients. Limited knowledge exists on return to outdoorsman sports after shoulder arthroplasty. Purpose: To determine return to outdoorsman sports, including fishing, shooting, archery, and rowing, after primary total shoulder arthroplasty at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent primary reverse or anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty between 2012 and 2022 who participated in outdoorsman sports, including fishing, shooting, archery, and rowing, with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Questionnaires were expanded to explore patients' preoperative and postoperative activity with regard to outdoorsman sports. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including visual analog scale for pain (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and Subjective Shoulder Value, as well as active range of motion including forward flexion, external rotation, internal rotation, were collected pre- and postoperatively. Results: A total of 102 patients met study criteria and responded. Overall, 77% returned to outdoorsman sports, with 80%, 85%, 50%, and 68% returning to fishing, shooting, archery, and rowing, respectively. Of those who returned, 86% reported being mostly or completely satisfied with their performance postoperatively, with 77% reporting a return to at least the same level of activity. Among those who returned, 61% did so within 6 months postoperatively. Patients from all sports showed significant clinical improvement in forward flexion ( Conclusion: Participants had a 77% return to outdoorsman sports, such as fishing, shooting, archery, and rowing, with >50% doing so within 6 months of primary total shoulder arthroplasty. Respondents who participated in rowing and archery returned at lower rates compared with fishing and shooting, despite shooting's showing higher pain postoperatively. Activities entailing greater shoulder demands may hinder a patient's ability to return after arthroplasty.
