Complications and Return to Sport Between Screw Fixation and Suture Button Fixation for Arthroscopic Latarjet in a 2-year Follow-up: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: The Latarjet procedure may be performed arthroscopically or via an open approach, utilizing screws or suture buttons for graft fixation. There has been recent interest in suture button techniques in arthroscopic surgery, and proponents assert that these techniques may lead to fewer hardware-related complications while allowing for easier graft positioning. Hypothesis/Purpose: This study aimed to compare the complication and return to sports (RTS) rates between screw fixation (SF) and suture button fixation (SB) for patients undergoing the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure. It was hypothesized that each group would have similar outcomes. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 112 patients underwent arthroscopic Latarjet procedures at a single center between January 2012 and December 2019. All patients had >20% glenoid bone loss, and 11.6% (n = 13) had previous arthroscopic Bankart repair. SF was utilized in 65 (58%) cases, and SB in 47 (42%) cases. Complications, reoperations, and RTS rates were analyzed. Patients were included for analysis if they had a 2-year follow-up and did not require conversion to open surgery. Results: Total complications were similar between SF and SB and occurred in 15.4% (n = 10) and 14.9% (n = 7) of cases, respectively ( Conclusion: Graft fixation using SF or SB yielded similar results for arthroscopic Latarjet procedures with respect to complications and RTS. The fixation method may be dictated by surgeon preference without an increased risk of complications.
