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

backgroundTo evaluate the reliability of the Bare Spot (BS) as an anatomical landmark for the intra-operative definition of bone loss in anterior shoulder instability.

methodsThe distances from the BS to the anterior (BS-A), posterior (BS-P) and inferior margins of the glenoid cavity were determined both under arthroscopic visualization and by an open approach in 20 shoulders.

resultsThe BS did not coincide with the centre of the glenoid cavity of the studied shoulders because the BS-P distance was greater than the BS-A distance (

conclusionsThe BS is located at a mean distance of 40% of the joint diameter, relative to the anterior margin of the glenoid. This point may be used as a landmark, using a correction factor of its mostly anterior positioning. Arthroscopy was reliable for bone measurements of the shoulder joint.
