Bone mineralization changes of the glenoid in shoulders with symptomatic rotator cuff tear.

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
purposeComputed tomography osteoabsorptiometry (CTO) is a method to analyze the stress distribution in joints by measuring the subchondral bone density. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bone mineralization changes of the glenoid in shoulders with rotator cuff tears by CTO and to evaluate whether rotator cuff tears are associated with stress changes in the glenoid.
methodsIn total, 32 patients, who were diagnosed with unilateral rotator cuff tears and underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, were enrolled in this study. They underwent CT scanning of both shoulders pre-operatively and the glenoid was evaluated using CTO. Hounsfield units (HU) in seven areas of the glenoid were compared between the affected and unaffected sides.
resultsThe central area of the glenoid on the affected side had significantly lower HU than on the unaffected side among all patients. Focusing on the rotator cuff tear size and the subscapularis tendon, only patients with larger cuff tears or with subscapularis tendon tears showed significantly lower HU in the central area of the affected side.
conclusionsThis study showed a decrease in bone mineralization density in the central glenoid in shoulders with rotator cuff tear. This change was observed in the case of larger cuff tears and subscapularis tendon tears. Our results help clarify the changes in stress distribution in the shoulder joint caused by symptomatic rotator cuff tears.
