Effect of Ethnicity and Child Opportunity Index on Glenohumeral Labral Repair Postoperative Physical Therapy Attendance in Adolescents.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Recovery from orthopaedic surgery in the adolescent population can be complicated by socioeconomic barriers and known health care disparities prevalent among racial/ethnic groups. Such barriers can negatively affect patient outcomes, particularly if accessibility to postoperative physical therapy (PT) is affected. Purpose: To determine the effect of race, ethnicity, language spoken, or Child Opportunity Index (COI) on recovery from glenohumeral labral repair in the pediatric population. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients who underwent glenohumeral labral repair at a single center between September 2009 and December 2018 were reviewed. The inclusion criteria were pre- and postoperative data available at the time of chart review, with a minimum of 2 postoperative appointments with the surgeon. Charts were reviewed to gather demographic and clinical data, including age, sex, race, ethnicity, pre- and postoperative visits with the surgeon, and PT data. Cohorts of Hispanic or Latino (HL) and non-Hispanic (NH) were analyzed along with COI classification levels and outcomes. Results: A total of 132 patients met the inclusion criteria-61(46%) women and 40 (30%) HL patients-with a mean age of 15.5 years. There was no difference between HL and NH patients regarding the time from injury to initial visit, the time from initial visit to surgery, and the number of postoperative clinic visits with the surgeon ( Conclusion: Ethnicity appears to independently factor into postoperative PT session attendance. Patients living in areas with the highest opportunity index had higher rates of postoperative PT cancellations. Future studies should focus on longer-term outcomes, rather than the ability to attend postoperative PT, to further identify whether ethnicity is truly a factor for any discrepancies in health care related to glenolabral repair in the pediatric population.
