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: Returning to sport is an important consideration for joint replacement. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge regarding returning to yoga following shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to examine patients' ability to return to yoga after primary total shoulder arthroplasty. Secondary outcome measures were analyzed including range of motion (ROM) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Additionally, any differences between anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) were investigated. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent primary aTSA or rTSA between 2012 and 2022. Inclusion criterion was a minimum follow-up of 2 years, and yoga was reported as their primary sporting activity prior to arthroplasty. Yoga participation was recorded before and after shoulder arthroplasty, as well as time to return to previous activity level and satisfaction. Range of motion including forward flexion, external rotation, and internal rotation, as well as PROs including visual analog scale for pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and subjective shoulder value were collected preoperatively and postoperatively. Postoperative results were compared based on patients' ability to return to participation in yoga. Results: Fifteen patients (6 aTSA and 9 rTSA) with a mean age of 69 ± 6 years met the study criteria and were evaluated at a mean of 44 ± 22 months postoperative. At 6 months postoperative, 60% (9/15) of patients reported being able to return to their activity, whereas 100% (15/15) had returned by the 12-month postoperative point. At the final follow-up, 80% (12/15) of patients noted that their ability to return to yoga following shoulder arthroplasty improved compared to baseline, 13% (12/15) reported that this ability was unchanged, and 7% (1/15) reported decreased ability.There was no statistically significant difference in PROs between rTSA and aTSA (visual analog scale Conclusion: Patients who engage in yoga have a high return to sport rate following either aTSA or rTSA, although full return may take up to 1 year postoperatively. The vast majority of patients also report improvement in their ability to perform yoga following shoulder arthroplasty. Among yoga participants, postoperative ROM, including internal rotation, appears to be similar between aTSA and rTSA.
