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
Objectives: This study aimed to quantify the relationship between proximal humeral rotation and the lateral border of the bicipital groove on fluoroscopic imaging. Methods: A composite normal humerus with a marker placed on the lateral border of the bicipital groove was affixed to a custom rotation device at the proximal cut segment. Consecutive fluoroscopic images were captured from -60° to 60° in 5° increments and from -15° to 15° in 1° increments. The index value was calculated by taking the ratio of the distance from the medial boundary of the proximal humerus to the lateral border of the bicipital groove to the distance between the medial and lateral boundaries of the proximal humerus. The correlation between the humeral rotation and the index value was determined. Results: The index value showed a strong positive linear correlation position during internal rotation of the humerus across the entire range (r=0.998, P<0.001), as well as when the humerus was externally rotated, ranging from 15° of internal rotation to 15° of external rotation (r=0.991, P<0.001). Conclusion: The lateral border of the bicipital groove may serve as a useful intraoperative landmark for assessing proximal humeral rotation. This could potentially enhance the outcomes of humeral fracture repair and upper arm arthroplasty.
