Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Suprascapular Notch Morphological Variability: Do We Know Everything?
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The suprascapular notch represents a depression on the lateral part of the superior border of the scapula, medially to the coracoid process. The current paper presents a systematic review with a meta-analysis of the suprascapular notch morphological variability. Related clinical implications were further discussed as well to emphasize the value of the topic. A total of 31 articles were included in the meta-analysis, which depicted great heterogeneity. Thus, due to the different classification systems, difficulties were faced in creating a complete and united classification. All the problems and pitfalls that arise from each classification system were discussed, and we concluded with the most complete one. The knowledge of the suprascapular notch morphological anatomy is of great importance, especially for orthopedic surgeons, due to its relationship with the suprascapular nerve. Thus, further research in this area is adequate.
