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
An 8-year-old male patient with bilateral Sprengel deformity, characterized by a right-sided bony omovertebral bar and a left-sided fibrous band, in the context of Klippel-Feil syndrome is presented in this case report. The patient had limited shoulder movement, a short neck, and considerable cosmetic issues. The radiological evaluation showed the omovertebral structures to be asymmetrical and a cervical fusion at C2-C3. The patient underwent 2 separate surgical procedures: the right side was operated on when the patient was 8 years old, and the left side was operated on 8 months later. The procedures involved the resection of the omovertebral structures and modified Woodward procedures for scapular repositioning. The postoperative results showed a marked improvement in shoulder abduction and cosmetic appearance with no neurovascular complications. This report emphasizes the need for early diagnosis, comprehensive imaging, and individualized surgical planning in the management of complex congenital shoulder deformities.
