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: Patients with stroke experience hemiparesis causing secondary problems like structural changes, malfunction, and low quality of life over time. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between shoulder musculoskeletal factors and the upper limb function in patients with stroke. Methods: Eighteen patients with hemiplegic stroke participated in this study. Acromion-greater tuberosity (AGD) distance and muscle thickness (supraspinatus and deltoid) were measured on both the affected and non-affected sides. Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JHFT) was undertaken to evaluate the patient's upper limb function. The differences between affected and non-affected shoulder complex parameters, and the correlation between shoulder musculoskeletal factors and upper limb function were analysed. Results: All parameters were significantly different between the affected and non-affected sides ( Conclusion: This study confirmed that there is a relationship between supraspinatus, deltoid muscle, and the upper limb function. These results emphasise the importance of targeted interventions to prevent muscle atrophy and improve shoulder strength and provide valuable insights into the rehabilitation of chronic hemiplegic stroke in a clinical setting.This work was carried out under the Registration KCT0005574.
