Does Pseudoparesis Affect the Outcomes of Isolated Subscapularis Tear Repair? A Mid-term Follow-up 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 1 paper.
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 role of subscapularis tears in pseudoparesis in massive rotator cuff tears has been thoroughly investigated in the literature. However, further research is required to assess the effect of pseudoparesis on clinical outcomes in isolated subscapularis tear repair. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of the present study was to compare the outcomes of patients with and without preoperative pseudoparesis after repair of isolated subscapularis tears at midterm follow-up. It was hypothesized that patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tears would have satisfactory results regardless of the presence of preoperative pseudoparesis. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The study included 75 patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tears between July 2014 and December 2019 and were evaluated at the final follow-up. Patients were classified into 2 groups based on the degree of preoperative active forward elevation (AFE), using a cutoff of 90° to define pseudoparesis: the nonpseudoparesis group (AFE, >90°; n = 49) and the pseudoparesis group (AFE, ≤90°; n = 26). The range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale score, University of California-Los Angeles shoulder rating scale (UCLA) score, Constant-Murley score (CMS), and Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) were compared preoperatively and at the final follow-up. Results: The median duration of follow-up was 56 months (range, 48-108 months). At the preoperative assessment, active and passive forward elevation, active and passive internal rotation, and the CMS, UCLA score, and SSV were significantly lower in the pseudoparesis group ( Conclusion: The main finding of the present study is that satisfactory outcomes could be achieved after arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tears, regardless of preoperative pseudoparesis.
