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
Irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears remain challenging, particularly in young, active patients. Superior capsular reconstruction restores static stability but is limited by graft failure and reduced external rotation, especially with infraspinatus fatty infiltration. Lower trapezius transfer restores dynamic force coupling but lacks static support. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic-assisted mini-open technique combining superior capsular reconstruction with lower trapezius transfer using dual Achilles allografts. The graft's thickness provides durable, superior coverage, whereas a mini-open anterior portal extension simplifies graft passage and suture management. This combined approach integrates static and dynamic stabilization to improve stability and range of motion and to reduce subacromial contact pressures in patients with irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears.
