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
Background: Weakness of the rotator cuff has been reported in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). A novel therapeutic approach proposes adding exercises for the core musculature to aid in functional recovery in these patients. Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the short-term effects of adding a core exercise program to supervised physiotherapy on improve lateral rotator strength and functional outcomes in patients with SIS. Study Design: A pre-post single-group study. Methods: A total of 47 participants with SIS were recruited. All patients were treated with five weeks of supervised physiotherapy plus a core exercise program. The primary outcomes were isometric lateral rotator strength and grip strength, measured with a dynamometer. Secondary outcomes included muscular endurance assessed with the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), shoulder function with the Constant-Murley (CM) questionnaire, and pain intensity reported using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Need a brief statement of statistical approach. Results: At end of the five week intervention, isometric lateral rotator strength showed an increase of 9.2 kg ( Conclusion: In the short term, adding a core exercise program to supervised physiotherapy showed statistically and clinically significant differences in lateral rotator strength and functional outcomes in patients with SIS. Level of Evidence: Level 3.
