The effects of preoperative glenohumeral osteoarthritis on rotator cuff repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in PloS one, 2025. 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
purposeThis meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of rotator cuff repair surgery in treating rotator cuff tears in individuals with mild glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA).
methodsA computer-based search was conducted across multiple databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library using the keywords "Shoulder Joints", "Osteoarthrosis", and "rotator cuff". Only studies focusing on patients with GHOA who underwent rotator cuff repair were considered for inclusion. The pertinent data was extracted and assessed for heterogeneity.
resultsA total of 5 studies involving 924 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The treatment outcomes of patients with rotator cuff tears accompanied by mild GHOA and those with simple rotator cuff tears after rotator cuff repair were comparable in terms of retear(OR: 1.24; 95% CI 0.82-1.89; P = 0.31). The postoperative functional scores: the VAS score (MD: 0.14; 95% CI -0.19-0.47; P = 0.41)、ASES score (MD: -0.33; 95% CI -1.64-0.99)were similar between the two groups. Subgroup analysis of rotator cuff tears(small to moderate, MD: 0.85; 95%CI -0.65-2.39; p = 0.28; large to massive, MD: -1.94; 95% CI -8.45-4.58; P = 0.56), showed no difference in postoperative ASES scores between the two groups. Constant score (MD:-3.20; 95% CI -6.33-0.08; P = 0.04), external rotation (ER) in Range of motion (ROM) (MD: -4.42; 95% CI -6.72-2.13; P = 0.0002) and forward flexion (FF) in ROM(MD: -4.22; 95% CI -8.28-0.15; P = 0.04) were superior in patients with simple rotator cuff tears compared to those with rotator cuff tears accompanied by GHOA.
conclusionPatients with rotator cuff tears and mild GHOA can achieve shoulder joint restoration after shoulder cuff repair surgery, and there is only a certain difference in postoperative Constant Score and ROM between these two groups.
