1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

While traumatic rupture of the pectoralis major is increasingly recognized, simultaneous bilateral pectoralis major tears remain exceedingly rare, with only five previously reported cases. Of these cases, only two were treated in a simultaneous fashion, both relatively acutely after injury. We present, to our knowledge, the first case of chronic bilateral pectoralis major myotendinous junctional tears treated with simultaneous repair. Additionally, given the occupational functional demands of our patient, we provide additional insight into the expected recovery of similar cases, with unrestricted activity at six months post-operatively and fully recovered strength at ten months postoperatively maintained at a three-year follow-up.
