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

purposeThe primary goal of this study was to investigate whether superior humeral head osteophyte (SHO) size is associated with rotator cuff insufficiency, including rotator cuff tear (RCT), supraspinatus tendon thickness, and fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles.

methodsPatients  ≥ 18 years who were diagnosed with glenohumeral osteoarthritis were retrospectively reviewed. SHO size was determined by radiograph. MRI measured SHO and RCT presence, type, and size; supraspinatus tendon thickness; and fatty infiltration of rotator cuff musculature.

resultsA total of 461 patients were included. Mean SHO size was 1.93 mm on radiographs and 2.13 mm on MRI. Risk ratio for a RCT was 1.14. For each 1-mm increase in SHO size on radiograph, supraspinatus tendon thickness decreased by 0.20 mm. SHO presence was associated with moderate-to-severe fatty infiltration of the supraspinatus with a risk ratio of 3.16.

conclusionSHOs were not associated with RCT but were associated with higher risk of supraspinatus FI and decreased tendon thickness, which could indicate rotator cuff insufficiency. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
