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: To conduct a comprehensive analysis of public Instagram posts pertaining to the Latarjet procedure and Bankart repair with the aim of elucidating patients' perspectives on the perioperative process, satisfaction, and expectations. Methods: We performed a descriptive social media-based investigation using relevant hashtags associated with surgical treatment of anterior shoulder instability, covering the period from January 2023 until January 2024. Posts were categorized by perspective, timing, content, tone, and satisfaction. Results: A total of 2,395 posts were retrieved, with 526 posts concerning surgical treatment of shoulder instability. Of the posts, 201 (37.9%) were authored by patients and 224 (42.3%) portrayed personal content and patient experience. Most were neutral (308; 58.1%) or positive (203; 38.3%) in tone. Rehabilitation was mentioned frequently by patients undergoing both procedures (49.2% of Bankart posts and 45.6% of Latarjet posts). Comparative analysis revealed no statistically significant differences regarding immobilization ( Conclusions: Social media posts reflect mostly a neutral or positive patient experience in the surgical treatment of anterior instability. Bankart and Latarjet posts exhibit no differences regarding satisfaction, tone, return to work, or return to activities of daily living. Mentions of complications are rare. The most frequent complication mentioned in Bankart posts is recurrence, whereas that in Latarjet posts is postoperative pain. Clinical Relevance: This analysis explores the relevance of social media as an instrument to gain insight into patients' perceptions of surgical interventions for anterior shoulder instability.
