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: The current recommendation for remplissage is the 'Off Track' Hill-Sachs lesion. But it is a relatively safe procedure that might reduce the risk of redislocation even in on-track lesions. This study aims to compare and analyse the safety and functional outcomes of Bankart repair without (BR) and with remplissage (BRR) in patients with on-track Hill Sachs lesions without bone loss in the glenoid in a non-athletic population. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with and without remplissage for on-track Hill Sachs lesion. The outcome scores used were the Oxford and Rowe scores. External rotation deficit and incidence of posterior shoulder pain were noted. Redislocation and re-operation rates, and complications were analyzed. Results: We included 80 patients with a mean age of 28.8 (±7.3) years who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with (n = 24) and without remplissage (n = 56) for on-track Hill Sachs lesion. We found that both Oxford score (p < 0.001) and Rowe score (p < 0.001) were significantly higher in the BRR group compared to the BR group at 2-year follow-up. We noted comparable complications between the two groups. Conclusions: Routine utilization of remplissage for 'On Track' Hill Sachs lesion, along with Bankart repair, is safe and results in better functional outcomes and comparable complications. However, longer follow-up is needed to look out for any late complications associated with routine utilization.
