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: This study aimed to adapt and validate the Arabic version of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form for assessing shoulder disabilities in the Libyan-Arab population. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 108 participants with shoulder conditions from rehabilitation centers in Misrata, Libya. The ASES form underwent translation and cultural adaptation following established guidelines, including forward translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert review, and pilot testing. Psychometric validation included assessments of reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, and agreement using Cronbach's α, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), and Bland-Altman analysis. Results: The Arabic ASES form demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .90) and high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.95). Convergent validity was confirmed by significant correlations with the DASH ( Conclusion: The Arabic ASES form is a reliable, valid, and culturally appropriate tool for evaluating shoulder disabilities in Arabic-speaking populations, particularly in Libya. Its cross-cultural validation supports broader applicability across diverse Arabic-speaking contexts, enhancing clinical and research utility.
