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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the superior glenoid labrum focusing on the fiber arrangement of its components.

methodsForty-nine embalmed shoulder girdles were removed and each posterior capsule was incised. After recording the macroscopic findings 12 superior-half glenoids were histologically examined. In nine serially sectioned glenoids, four were cut parallel to and five were cut vertical to the glenoid surface. The remaining three glenoids were radially sectioned at the clock position for each hour between 10:00 and 14:00.

resultsThe superior labrum had a semi-circular fiber component along the outer margin of the glenoid. In addition, a so-called 'sheet-like structure' which branched off the rotator interval and contained many elastic fibers, attached to its anterosuperior portion. The fibers of the sheet-like structure mixes with fibers of the semi-circular component and ran posteriorward. The fibers of the long head of the biceps tendon extended posteriorward from its origin along the glenoid edge. These fibers communicated with other labrum fibers and became a major element of the posterior portion.

conclusionThe superior labrum is not homogenous. The posterior portion mainly consists of the robust fiber component of the long head of the biceps tendon. The anterosuperior portion includes fibers of the sheet-like structure which contains numerous elastic fibers. Tensile stress from the rotator interval might be conveyed to the anterosuperior labrum.
