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

backgroundArthroscopic repair of combined Bankart/superior labral anteroposterior (SLAP) lesions is commonly performed to treat anterior shoulder instability, the clinical outcomes of which have not been widely studied. PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcomes for arthroscopic repair of combined Bankart/SLAP lesions in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability and to ascertain whether it is inferior to isolated Bankart repair. STUDY

designSystematic review; Level of evidence, 3.

methodsA systematic review of the literature was performed through use of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Study bias was assessed using the MINORS (Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies) scoring system. Randomized controlled trials, prospective or retrospective cohort studies, and case-control studies were included, whereas systematic reviews, literature reviews, conference abstracts, case reports, case series, and non-peer-reviewed studies were excluded to guarantee the quality of the study. Data on outcomes including recurrence rate, functional scores, and range of motion (ROM) were pooled, with statistical analysis performed. A

resultsThe review included 7 studies with a total of 520 patients. The pooled recurrence rate after combined Bankart/SLAP repair was 6.47% (9/139). Significant improvements of postoperative versus preoperative functional scores were observed, including a reduction in the visual analog scale score for pain (mean ± SD: 0.99 ± 1.36 vs 4.13 ± 2.26;

conclusionOf the pooled data, patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of combined Bankart/SLAP lesions in treatment of anterior shoulder instability showed a low recurrence rate, favorable functional scores, and no significant restriction on ROM, all of which were not significantly worse than outcomes of isolated Bankart repair. Therefore, combined repair was proven to be a viable option for extensive labral lesions.
