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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of endobutton combined with a reinforced anchor in the treatment of Tossy III acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation.
methodsA total of 42 patients with Tossy Ⅲ ACJ dislocation treated between July 2017 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, and postoperative outcomes were assessed. Outcomes included Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for pain at 1 and 6 months, Constant-Murley scores for shoulder function, Karlsson scores for treatment efficacy, and postoperative complications.
resultsThe mean follow-up period was 23.43 Å} 7.70 months. All patients achieved effective reduction and incision healing. The mean operation time was 64.29 Å} 5.13 minutes, intraoperative blood loss was 46.79 Å} 4.25 mL, and hospital stay was 4.95 Å} 1.29 days. Postoperative VAS scores significantly decreased compared with preoperative values (P < .001), while Constant-Murley scores markedly improved at 1 and 6 months (P < .001). Karlsson scores showed 40 excellent and 2 good outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed satisfactory healing at 1 and 6 months. Two patients demonstrated partial loss of ACJ reduction at 3 months, without clinical symptoms. No cases of complete radiological failure occurred.
conclusionEndobutton combined with reinforced anchor demonstrated satisfactory early clinical efficacy in the treatment of Tossy Ⅲ ACJ dislocation, with improved pain relief, functional recovery, and a low complication rate.
