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: Existing kinematic studies of the shoulder girdle focus on humerothoracic movements. Isolated scapulothoracic movements are also performed during daily activities and rehabilitation but kinematic values are lacking. Methods: A kinematic analysis was performed in 14 cadaveric shoulders during protraction, retraction, and shrug. An optical navigation system was used to analyze sternoclavicular, scapulothoracic, and acromioclavicular motions. Results: In the sternoclavicular joint, shrug and retraction caused a posterior clavicular rotation of 5° (standard deviation [SD] 6°) and 3° (SD 2°), while protraction induced an anterior rotation of 3° (SD 2°). Shrug caused a large clavicular elevation of 25° (SD 5°). Shrug and retraction caused an increase in retraction of 17° (SD 5°) and 9° (SD 2°). Protraction induced an increase of 10° (SD 2°) toward protraction. In the scapulothoracic joint, shrug induced an increase of 3° (SD 2°) in anterior scapular tilt, and a lateral rotation of 26° (SD 4°). Retraction caused a lateral rotation of 4° (SD 3°). Protraction caused an increase of 7° (SD 2°) in the scapular protraction position, while shrug and retraction demonstrated a decrease of 9° (SD 2°) and 6° (SD 5°). In the acromioclavicular joint, posterior tilting of the scapula compared to the clavicle increased 23° (SD 6°) during shrug, while during protraction an increase of only 4° (SD 3°) was seen. During shrug, relative lateral rotation increased 13° (SD 4°). The protraction movement decreased the relative protraction position with 3° (SD 2°). Conclusion: This study provided normative kinematic values of scapulothoracic movements in the shoulder girdle.
