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: The purpose of this study was to measure the distance between the scapular neck and the humeral polyethylene insert in shoulders with a 145° neck-shaft-angle (NSA) semi-inlay reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) during active external rotation and to compare it with the distance in shoulders with a 155° NSA inlay rTSA. Methods: Twenty shoulders with 145° NSA semi-inlay rTSA and 18 shoulders with 155° NSA inlay rTSA were analyzed. Each shoulder underwent computed tomography and fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopic images were acquired during the activity, starting from internal rotation at the side and progressing to maximum external rotation, while keeping the shoulder adducted. Using model-image registration techniques, the poses of 3-dimensional models were iteratively adjusted to match their silhouettes with those in the fluoroscopic images. Based on the 3-dimensional kinematics of the implants, the closest distance between the scapular neck and polyethylene insert was computed. The data from 10° internal rotation to 50° external rotation were used for analysis. It was also evaluated whether the distance approached within 1 mm, as it was considered that impingement occurred between the scapular neck and polyethylene insert at this proximity. Results: The distance between the scapular neck and the polyethylene insert significantly decreased as the shoulder externally rotated ( Conclusions: The distance between the scapular neck and the polyethylene insert during active external rotation was greater in a 145° NSA semi-inlay rTSA compared to a 155° NSA inlay rTSA. This study supports the notion that a 145° NSA semi-inlay rTSA significantly reduces scapular notching compared to a 155° NSA inlay rTSA. However, scapular notching, especially caused by maximum external rotation, should still be considered in shoulders with a 145° NSA semi-inlay rTSA as well, as the distance significantly decreases during external rotation.
