1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This hermeneutic phenomenological study explored the meaning of post-operative pain for patients following day case shoulder surgery. Eighteen adults with a confirmed diagnosis of shoulder injury who were scheduled for day surgery were recruited purposively. Unstructured interviews were conducted by phone or online, audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Diekelmann's interpretative method. Four constitutive patterns were developed: (1)
