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: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has shown promise as a solution for individuals with rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA). However, RTSA has demonstrated limited improvement in internal rotation (IR) range of motion (ROM) and strength, potentially affecting patients' ability to perform essential daily tasks such as toileting, a crucial factor that significantly influences overall patient satisfaction. Case Report: A 69-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of chronic pain and weakness in her right shoulder. The patient exhibited rotator CTA with irreparable subscapularis. As the owner of a fish restaurant, the patient underwent lateralized RTSA combined with pectoralis tendon transfer. By the post-operative 1 year 6 months, the patient's strengths of forward elevation (FE) and IR had improved from 14.2N to 20.2N and from 15.4 to 26.2N, respectively. The ROM increased from 80° to 150° for FE, from 70° to 150° for abduction, from 25° to 35° for external rotation, and from L5 to L1 for IR at the back. With no significant complications, the patient was able to return to her workplace. Conclusion: Primary RTSA combined with pectoralis major tendon transfer could be a viable option for restoring both ROM and strength in FE and IR, particularly in cases of rotator CTA with irreparable subscapularis tears.
