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

backgroundIn the Latarjet procedure, two screws are used for secure fixation. However, when the graft is small, two-screw fixation is technically difficult. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bone union of one-screw fixation on CT images.

methodsTen shoulders with anterior recurrent dislocation underwent the open Latarjet procedure using one-screw fixation combined with arthroscopic Bankart repair. The bone union and the graft position were evaluated on CT images at 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation.

resultsSeven of 10 shoulders showed bone union at 3 months after the operation. In two shoulders, the removal of cortex was insufficient, and bone union was observed at 6 months. In one shoulder, the distal part of the graft was not in contact with the glenoid, and bone union was observed at 12 months. In one shoulder, the graft was healed in a 70-degree-rotated position. The average thickness of the graft was 7.2 ± 1.0 mm.

conclusionOne-screw fixation in the Latarjet procedure did not show non-union. Sufficient removal of the graft cortex and good contact were needed for early union.
