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.

Abstract

purposeThis study aimed to review studies comparing transtendon repair (TTR) with tear completion repair (TCR) techniques for partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsion (PASTA) lesions according to postoperative patient-reported outcomes and complications.

methodsDatabases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane, were searched for studies published between 2008 and 2022 that directly compared the postoperative patient-reported outcomes and complications of the TTR and TCR techniques for PASTA lesions. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for dichotomous outcomes, while mean differences (MDs) were calculated for continuous outcomes.

resultsA total of seven studies (497 shoulders) were analysed. No statistically significant differences in the postoperative clinical outcomes at the final follow-up were observed between the TTR and TCR techniques for PASTA lesions. The overall retear rates of the TTR and TCR techniques were 7.7% and 11.6%, respectively (corresponding healing rates were 92.3% and 88.4%), whereas the overall occurrence rates of adhesive capsulitis were 4.7% and 3.3%, respectively. Furthermore, no significant difference was observed in postoperative range of motion (forward flexion, MD = - 1.22, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) - 5.28 to 3.34, n.s.; external rotation, MD = - 1.39, 95% CI - 3.19 to 0.42, n.s.), overall retear rate (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.29-1.08, n.s.), and occurrence rate of adhesive capsulitis (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.35-3.52, n.s.) between the two techniques.

conclusionBoth techniques improve clinical outcomes while having a low complication rate and a high rate of healing. No significant difference in clinical outcomes was observed between the two techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
