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

The treatment of recurrent glenohumeral instability, especially with a concomitant bony lesion, remains challenging. This is especially true in the case of posterior instability given its less common incidence. Moreover, the presence of an engaging reverse Hill-Sachs lesion in combination with posterior instability will result in the need for a more aggressive treatment option. In comparison with a Hill-Sachs lesion, a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion features greater chondral deficiency that must be addressed during treatment. We propose the talus allograft as a potential allograft for treatment of an engaging reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. The superior articular surface of the talus may be used to reconstruct the articular surface of the humeral head. In this technical note, we describe our preferred primary technique for treatment of an engaging reverse Hill-Sachs lesion with recurrent glenohumeral instability through use of a fresh osteochondral talus allograft, as well as discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this allograft option.
