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
Purpose: To investigate the influence of anchor density on tendon footprint contact mechanics in knotless all-suture anchor compression bridge constructs. Methods: Unicortical polyurethane solid foam blocks with a cancellous density of 20 lb/ft Results: The 25-mm, 3-anchor construct resulted in significantly greater compressive force than any of the 2-anchor groups (107 ± 9 N, Conclusions: An inverse relation was identified wherein increasing knotless suture bridge length decreased tendon footprint contact pressure in single-row repairs. The addition of an in-line third anchor in a simulated large-tear model (25 mm) improved contact pressure and compressive force. Clinical Relevance: The addition of a third knotless all-suture anchor to large single-row suture bridge repairs shows a noticeable improvement in tendon footprint restoration at time zero.
