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
Objective: The purpose of this case study was to describe the use of the Mulligan Concept (MC) Manual Lateral Glide Mobilization with Movement (MWM) with gripping on an adult tennis player with lateral epicondylalgia (LE). Clinical Features: A 40-year-old adult male tennis player presented with pain and perceived weakness at the lateral elbow while lifting, pulling, and gripping. Clinical examination noted pain with elbow extension and wrist flexion, tenderness to palpation at the origin of the common extensor tendon, and positive Cozen test. The working diagnosis was LE with a differential diagnosis of radial nerve entrapment. Intervention and Outcome: The patient completed 5 treatments of MC Manual Lateral Glide MWM with gripping over 13 days. The MC Manual Lateral Glide MWM with gripping was composed of the clinician providing a laterally directed glide across the elbow joint while the patient performed pain-free gripping. Patient outcomes, including Numeric Rating Scale for pain, the Patient-Specific Functional Scale, Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation, the Disablement in the Physically Active Scale Short Form-8, grip strength (ie, hand dynamometer measurements), and algometer pressure pain threshold measurements were collected. Improvements exceeding minimal clinically important differences and minimal detectable change values were noted on all outcomes after the third treatment. After 5 treatment sessions, spanning a total of 13 days, clinical evaluation was performed, noting total resolution of symptoms. Patient outcomes supported clinical findings, and the patient was discharged. Conclusion: Following 5 visits, the patient in this case study achieved restored function, pain reduction, and resolution of LE symptoms. The patient also maintained this at the 1-year follow-up.
