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: The aim of this study was to determine whether patient grit is associated with postoperative opioid consumption and pain/functional outcomes following primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Methods: This is a prospective longitudinal study set in a single ambulatory surgical center in a large metropolitan area. Patients aged 18 or older undergoing primary ARCR were enrolled starting December 2019 with a target sample size of N = 120. Patients were excluded on the basis of chronic opioid use, worker's compensation, and concomitant operation including any of the following procedures: Bankart repair, superior labrum anterior to posterior repair, posterior-inferior labral repair, and open reduction internal fixation. All patients received the same postoperative pain protocol: 1-2 pills of oxycodone 5 mg every 4 hours, 3 pills of ibuprofen 200 mg every 8 hours, and 2 pills of acetaminophen 500 mg every 8 hours (all as needed).The primary outcome was morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) consumed within the first 2 weeks after surgery. Secondary outcomes included preoperative and postoperative 12-item Grit score (Grit-12), Brief Resilience Score (BRS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), pain scale, and visual analog scale (VAS) pain score. Bivariate Pearson and Spearman correlations were conducted between Grit-12 score and (1) MMEs, (2) BRS, (3) PCS, and (4) VAS pain score for the affected shoulder. Results: Of the 142 enrolled patients, a total of 120 patients (84.5%) completed the study protocol. Grit-12 score was not associated with MMEs at 2 weeks postoperative (r = 0.06), and there was no statistical difference ( Conclusion: Although perseverance and resiliency have been associated with better ability to handle adversity, there seems to be no association between patient grit or resiliency scores and opioid consumption during the first 2 weeks following ARCR.
