Clinical effect of modified anterolateral acromioarthroplasty during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to compare the clinical effect of modified anterolateral and traditional acromioplasty in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
methodsThe clinical data of 92 patients with total rotator cuff tears admitted to the Department of Joint Surgery of Jinhua Central Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 42 patients underwent traditional acromioplasty during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and 50 underwent modified anterolateral acromioplasty. Patients were evaluated for preoperative and postoperative shoulder function, pain and critical shoulder angle, and incidence of rotator cuff re-tear at 12 months postoperatively.
resultsThe preoperative general data of patients in the classic and modified anterolateral acromioplasty groups did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) and were comparable. The UCLA, ASES, and Constant shoulder joint scores were significantly improved in both groups. The VAS score was significantly decreased at 12 months postoperative than preoperative, with a statistically significant difference (P ≤ 0.05). Shoulder function and pain scores did not differ significantly between the two groups at 12 months postoperatively (P > 0.05). The CSA did not differ significantly between preoperative and postoperative 12 months in the traditional acromioplasty group (P > 0.05). However, 12 months postoperative CSA in the modified anterolateral acromioplasty group was significantly smaller than the preoperative CSA, with a statistically significant difference (P ≤ 0.05). The rates of rotator cuff re-tears were 16.67% (7/42) and 4% (2/50) in the two groups at 12 months postoperatively, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P ≤ 0.05).
conclusionsTraditional and modified anterolateral acromioplasty while treating total rotator cuff tears using arthroscopic rotator cuff repair significantly improves shoulder joint function. However, modified anterolateral acromioplasty significantly reduced the CSA value and decreased the incidence of rotator cuff re-tears.
