Editorial Commentary: Mental Health Comorbidities Are Associated With Increased Cost, Opioid Use, and Inferior Outcomes After Shoulder Rotator Cuff Repair.
Article in Arthroscopy : the journal of arthroscopic & related surgery : official publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In patients undergoing rotator cuff repair (RCR), patient comorbidities including mental health diagnoses of anxiety and depression are very common and are known to adversely affect surgical outcomes. This study highlights the complex interplay of mental health with other important considerations in outcomes following RCR, namely opioid use and health care costs. The extent to which we can mitigate opioid use and health care costs in patients with comorbid mental health disorders undergoing RCR remains unclear but worthy of concerted efforts to improve patient outcomes. Improving recognition of the role of mental health comorbidities in outcomes of RCR will be critical in future efforts to improve preoperative counseling and optimize perioperative management of patients electing RCR.
