Bone block procedures in posterior shoulder instability.

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
purposePosterior shoulder dislocation is often associated with bone defects. Surgical treatment is often necessary to address these lesions. The aim of the present systematic review was to analyse the available literature concerning bone block procedures in the treatment of bone deficiencies following posterior dislocation. In addition, the methodology of the articles has been evaluated through the Coleman methodology score.
methodsA systematic review of the literature was performed using the keywords "posterior shoulder instability", "posterior shoulder dislocation", "bone loss", "bone defect", "bone block", and "bone graft" with no limit regarding the year of publication. All English-language articles were evaluated using the Coleman methodology score.
resultsFifty-four articles were identified, and 13 articles met inclusion criteria. The initial cohort included 208 shoulders, and 182 were reviewed at an average follow-up of 72.7 months (±55.2). The average Coleman score was 57.2 (±8.0). The most lacking domains were the size of study population, the type of study, and the procedure for assessing outcomes. All the articles showed an increase in the outcome scores. Radiographic evaluation revealed degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis and graft lysis in most of the series.
conclusionsThis review confirms the lack of studies with good methodological quality. However, bone grafting is a reliable option since significant improvement in all scores is reported. Although a low incidence of recurrence is generally described, there are concerns that the results may deteriorate over time as evidenced by graft lysis and glenohumeral osteoarthritis in up to one-third of patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Systematic review, Level IV.
