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
Introduction: Anterior superior irreparable rotator cuff tears (ASIRCTs) are a challenging clinical condition, especially in younger patients and those with high functional demands. Various surgical options, including tendon transfers, aim to restore shoulder stability and function in the absence of a viable rotator cuff. Case Report: A 54-year-old male fisherman with a history of failed rotator cuff repair presented with persistent shoulder pain and significantly limited range of motion (ROM). Radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings confirmed ASIRCT with anterior superior subluxation of the humeral head. The patient underwent a combined latissimus dorsi and teres major transfer along with an arthroscopically assisted middle trapezius tendon transfer. Conclusion: The patient demonstrated substantial functional improvement at 1 year, with increased ROM, strength, and patient-reported outcomes. Radiographic evaluation showed reduced humeral subluxation and stable transferred tendon integration. This dual tendon transfer approach offers a viable surgical option for restoring shoulder function in patients with severe ASIRCTs.
