Patient Sex Is a Significant Factor in Arm Function Recovery After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.
Article in Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of patient sex on arm functional recovery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients who underwent rehabilitation after ARCR at two affiliated hospitals between January 2014 and December 2019. Patient characteristics included age, sex, type of muscle tear, tear location, muscle strength, Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, and patient responses to the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire. We used mixed-effects regression models with random intercepts to evaluate the QuickDASH scores, JOA scores, and muscle strength relative to the nonoperated side. Results: Of the 124 patients, 82 (66.1%) were 65-year-old men and 42 (33.9%) were 67-year-old women. The preoperative JOA scores ( Conclusion: In this study, patient sex was a significant factor affecting the recovery and QuickDASH scores of patients who underwent ARCR. Level of Evidence: Level IV, prognostic case series.
