The effect of applying anti-osteoporosis drugs on the rehabilitation of patients with rotator cuff tears after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThis comprehensive meta-analysis aimed to elucidate the effects of anti-osteoporosis (OP) drugs in patients who experienced rotator cuff tears and underwent arthroscopic repair.
methodsThe PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central databases were searched to identify studies that examined the effects of anti-OP drugs among patients with rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Specifically, studies that evaluated the retear rate and other subjective or objective outcomes were included in the analysis. The databases were searched from inception to January 13, 2025.
resultsUltimately, 5 articles were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the control group, the anti-OP drug group had a lower retear rate, higher American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon scores and a greater internal rotation angle. The Simple Shoulder Test, University of California, Los Angeles shoulder score, Constant Shoulder score, and forward flexion angle were not markedly different between the two groups.
conclusionAnti-OP drugs markedly promoted bone-to-tendon healing and improved quality of life among patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, especially with respect to activities that involve internal rotation of the shoulder.
