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

Background: As the volume and proportion of patients treated arthroscopically for rotator cuff repair increases, it is important to recognize sex differences in utilization and outcomes. Methods: Patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between 2010 and 2019 were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program registry. Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were collected, and information concerning utilization, operative time, length of hospital stay, days from operation to discharge, readmission, and adverse events were analyzed by sex. Results: Of 42,443 included patients, 57.7% were male and 42.3% were female. Comparably, females were generally older ( Conclusion: Sex differences among patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair are evident, indicating the need for further research to understand and address the root causes of inequality and optimize care for all.
