Association of Preoperative Vitamin D Deficiency With Retear Rate and Early Pain After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Background: Although the function of vitamin D in bone metabolism has been well studied, the question remains whether vitamin D deficiency impairs tendon healing after rotator cuff repair. Purpose: To investigate the correlation between preoperative vitamin D deficiency and the retear rate and pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between January 2018 and August 2019 were enrolled. Included patients were divided into a control group (vitamin D level ≥20 μg/L) and a deficiency group (vitamin D level <20 μg/L). We investigated the association between preoperative vitamin D level and patient characteristics, MRI findings, pain and function scores (visual analog scale [VAS] for pain; Constant-Murley; University of California, Los Angeles; and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores), and healing status using the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient. The clinical characteristics were compared between the groups using the chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Results: Included were 89 patients (control group, 44 patients; deficiency group, 45 patients). The mean vitamin D levels were 25.07 ± 5.38 and 14.61 ± 3.43 μg/L in the control and deficiency groups, respectively ( Conclusion: Our study revealed that preoperative vitamin D deficiency was associated with a higher retear rate and early pain (1 and 3 months) after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
