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
Objective: To evaluate the preferences of shoulder and elbow surgeons from the Brazilian Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery to treat rotator cuff injuries, glenohumeral instability, and acromioclavicular dislocations considering a current and an ideal scenarios. Methods: A nationwide survey included 314 specialists who answered a 20-question questionnaire on treating shoulder pathologies. Results: This study included 314 specialists. Most (96%) perform rotator cuff repair arthroscopically and 74% use metallic anchors as a fixation method. In open surgery, most specialists reported using anchors (75%) instead of transosseous sutures. In treating glenohumeral instability via arthroscopic Bankart repair, 86% used three or more fixation anchors and 87%, bioabsorbable anchors. In Latarjet cases, 57% used cannulated screws. In treating acute acromioclavicular dislocations, 88% used the open route. Regarding fixation, 70% chose high-resistance wires; 65%, anchors; and 61%, Kirschner wires. Conclusion: The current Brazilian scenario has limited availability of ideal instruments and materials so specialists can treat shoulder pathologies. However, specialists' preferences agree with the latest medical literature.
