Scapula dyskinesis in medium-sized full-thickness rotator cuff tear after subacromial Lidocaine infiltration and rotator cuff reconstruction.

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: In rotator cuff tears, scapular dyskinesis is often observed. The aim of our study is to better understand the cause and the role of scapular dyskinesis in rotator cuff tears and evaluate changes in scapulothoracic kinematics after Lidocaine subacromial injection and surgery in patients with medium-sized (1-3 cm) rotator cuff tear. Methods: The scapular motion during humerus sagittal flexion of nine healthy persons (healthy group, HG) and nine persons with a medium-sized rotator cuff tear (surgery group, SG) was investigated using the VICON motion capture system and upper limb evaluation in movement analysis software. In addition, quality of life and functional outcomes were assessed in the SG group using American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Oxford and Constant-Murley scores and rotator muscle force and Visual Analogue Scale score were evaluated. The SG was further divided into three subgroups: measurements were performed preoperatively (before surgery native subgroup-BSN), then after subacromial Lidocaine injection (before surgery injection subgroup-BSI) and 6 months after rotator cuff reconstruction (after surgery subgroup-AS). Changes observed after injection (BSI) and surgery (AS) were compared to the BSN. Results: In the BSI, a significant reduction ( Conclusion: Significant reduction in scapular protraction was demonstrated with Lidocaine subacromial injection during both the arm raising and lowering phases. Six months of rehabilitation treatment in the postoperative period is not enough to fully eliminate scapular dyskinesis. Level of Evidence: Level II.
