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: Rotator cuff disease is one of the most common causes of shoulder disability. Pathologic conditions of the shoulder are often complicated by concomitant conditions such as cervical spine (C-spine) disease. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this article is to assess whether patients with concomitant C-spine disease undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) demonstrate lower absolute values in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores compared with those without C-spine disease and whether it affects the achievement of the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). It was hypothesized that patients with C-spine disease undergoing ARCR demonstrate lower absolute values in PROMIS scores compared with those without concomitant C-spine disease, but those patients experience a similar improvement and achievement of MCID after ARCR surgery. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 1387 patients who underwent ARCR at a single institution were identified. A retrospective chart review of a prospectively collected database was conducted to capture PROMIS Pain Interference (PI), Physical Function (PF), and Depression (Dep) scores. Patients were stratified into 2 groups based on the presence of concomitant C-spine disease at the time of surgery. The MCID was calculated using a distribution-based methodology. Results: Of the total, 528 patients met inclusion criteria for final analysis, 120 of whom had concomitant C-spine disease. Unadjusted analysis of descriptive variables revealed no significant differences between the C-spine and control groups. Both cohorts showed significant improvement at final follow-up compared with their preoperative PROMIS values for PF, PI, and Dep ( Conclusion: This study underscores the broad applicability of ARCR for patients with complex musculoskeletal pathology such as concomitant C-spine disease. The findings highlight the importance of setting expectations for patients regardless of their concomitant C-spine pathology before surgery.
