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
We evaluated the biomechanical performance of the new knotless H-Loop technique in repairing the upper third subscapularis (SSC) tendon tear, and compared these results with the single-row knotted technique. A total of 69 subscapularis tendons from sheep were collected, with 10 specimens randomly selected for comprehensive biomechanical testing after either complete tendon or upper third tear. An additional five specimens were dedicated to measuring the size and extent of the footprint area of the SSC tendon. The remaining 44 specimens were randomly and evenly divided into two groups: H-Loop(n = 11) and single-row knotted groups(n = 11). Contact area and pressure, ultimate tensile strength, stiffness, and elongation were assessed. Compared to the single-row knotted technique, the footprint contact pressure repaired by H-Loop technique was significantly larger (mean difference = 5.09 N, p = 0.004), but the footprint contact area (64.09 ± 10.37mm
