1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 of reviewAnterior glenohumeral instability is a common injury among football players. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of existing literature on the evaluation and management of anterior glenohumeral instability in football players. RECENT

findingsThe incidence and treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability varies by injury type, position, and time during the season. Shoulder instability represents a spectrum of pathologies. Important differences exist along this spectrum which affect treatment, rehabilitation, return to play, and outcomes. Current research demonstrates effective treatments and good return to play rates. There are currently no consensus guidelines for return to play after anterior glenohumeral instability for football. Successful RTP and future performance can be achieved with both non-operative and operative treatment.
