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: Rotator cuff posterior delamination and subscapularis tear are commonly observed in rotator cuff injuries. However, there are very few studies on the relationship between posterior delamination and subscapularis tendon tear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between posterior delamination and subscapularis tendon tear. Methods: The study was conducted from March 2018 to June 2021 with 553 patients who underwent rotator cuff repairs at two institutions. The age and gender, size of rotator cuff tear, duration of symptoms, range of motion of shoulder joint, visual analog scale score, Korean Shoulder Scale score, gap and width of rotator cuff tear, and fatty degeneration of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles were compared to confirm the differences between a delaminated and nondelaminated rotator cuff tear. Moreover, the proportions of the subscapular tendon rupture and subscapularis tendon rupture according to the size of the rotator cuff tear were analyzed in both the delaminated and nondelaminated rotator cuff tear groups. Results: Compared to the nondelaminated rotator cuff tear group, the age of the delaminated rotator cuff tear group was significantly higher, and as the size of the rotator cuff tear increased, the proportion of delaminated tear increased ( Conclusions: The results suggest that there is a high probability of concomitant rupture of the subscapularis tendon in the patient group with posterior delamination tear. Therefore, it should be noted that if a posterior delamination is confirmed during surgery, it is necessary to carefully check for rupture of the scapular tendon.
