A Longitudinal Analysis of the Internal Rotation and Shift (IRO/Shift) Test Following Arthroscopic Repair of Superior Rotator Cuff Lesions.

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
Although the use of clinical tests to diagnose superior rotator cuff pathology is common, there is paucity in the research regarding the accuracy of such tests following arthroscopic repair. The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of the IRO/Shift test compared to the Jobe test at 3 months and 6 months post-surgery for superior rotator cuff repair. Arthroscopic repair was conducted on 51 patients who were subsequently seen for clinical evaluation at 3 and 6 months following surgery. At 3 months post-surgery only 27% of the patients had a negative IRO/Shift test and 18% had a negative Jobe test. However, at 6 months 88% of the patients presented with a negative IRO/Shift test and 61% a negative Jobe test. When compared to each other, the IRO/Shift test and the Jobe test had 90% agreement pre-operatively, 71% agreement at 3 months post-surgery, and 67% agreement at 6 months. These results demonstrate that the accuracy of the IRO/Shift test and the Jobe test improved between 3 and 6 months following arthroscopic surgery of the superior rotator cuff, with the IRO/Shift test having better accuracy.
