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: Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common and functionally limiting injury in professional martial arts (MA) athletes. While arthroscopic Bankart repair is widely performed, data on long-term functional and sport-specific outcomes in elite-level MA athletes after a first-time dislocation remain scarce. Purpose: To evaluate the 5-year clinical and functional outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair using bioabsorbable suture anchors in elite MA athletes who sustained a first-time traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation without bony Bankart lesions. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence: 4. Methods: A total of 27 elite international-level MA athletes who experienced a first-time anterior shoulder dislocation and underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with bioabsorbable suture anchors were included. All surgeries were performed within 3 weeks after the injury. Patients with bony Bankart lesions and those who had undergone either remplissage for large Hill-Sachs lesion or previous shoulder surgery were excluded. Functional evaluation included pre- and postoperative assessments using Rowe, Athletic Shoulder Outcome Scoring System, Shoulder Sport Activity Score, forward flexion, and external rotation in adduction. Return to sport and return to preinjury competitive level were also recorded. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 6 months assessed anchor position, stability, and cartilage or bony lesions. Outcomes were compared between athletes who returned to their previous competition level and those who did not. Results: The mean age was 24.3 years and the mean follow-up was 63.0 ± 2.5 months (range, 54-69 months). All athletes returned to sports, with 85.2% (n = 23) resuming competition at their preinjury level. Significant improvements were observed in all functional scores ( Conclusion: Arthroscopic Bankart repair with bioabsorbable suture anchors is a safe and effective treatment for first-time anterior shoulder dislocation in elite MA athletes. This approach results in excellent long-term functional outcomes and a high rate of return to elite-level competition, with a low risk of recurrence when patients are properly selected.
