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

Background: Excessive external rotation of the glenohumeral joint during the late cocking phase of throwing is a factor in internal impingement; however, the relationship between maximum external rotation (MER) of the glenohumeral joint and morphological changes in the shoulder joint is unclear. Purpose: To clarify whether glenohumeral MER is associated with quantified assessment of morphological changes in the throwing shoulder joint. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: This study included 15 male university and adult baseball players from a competitive team. The posterior glenohumeral distance (mm) and area of impingement (mm Results: Simple linear regression analysis revealed that the glenohumeral MER angle was associated with the %PGHD (β coefficient = 0.685; Conclusion: The glenohumeral MER angle was associated with the %PGHD and %AOI, which reflects morphological shoulder-joint changes. Clinical Relevance: Assessment of excessive external rotation of the glenohumeral joint during the late cocking phase contributes to the understanding of morphological changes in the shoulder joint and related throwing injuries.
