Conjoint tendon release for persistent anterior shoulder pain following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
Article in JSES international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06729983 (Prophylactic Conjoint Tendon Lengthening During Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
backgroundPersistent anterior shoulder pain is an under-reported complication after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of open conjoint tendon release in patients with anterior shoulder pain due to conjoint tendinitis after RTSA.
methodsOpen conjoint tendon release was performed by the senior author from June 2014 to November 2018 in patients with persistent anterior shoulder pain after RTSA. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and at a minimum of 1 year postoperatively by phone interview with patient-reported outcome scores including a visual analog scale score for pain and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score.
resultsWe evaluated 11 of 12 patients (92% follow-up) at a minimum of 1 year (average, 27 ± 11 months) after conjoint tendon release. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and visual analog scale pain scores improved from 29.0 ± 22.1 and 7.3 ± 2.0, respectively, preoperatively to 58.2 ± 30.6 and 3.1 ± 3.5, respectively, postoperatively, after open conjoint tendon release (
conclusionOur results suggest that conjoint tendinitis may be a cause of persistent postoperative anterior shoulder pain after RTSA and open conjoint tendon release is a successful treatment.
