Dynamic Anterior Shoulder Stabilization Using a Long Head of the Biceps Transfer and Bankart Repair Improves Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Subcritical Bone Loss: A Systematic Review.

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
Purpose: To assess the clinical outcomes of dynamic anterior stabilization using a long head of the biceps transfer (DAS-LHB) with Bankart repair for management of anterior shoulder instability with subcritical glenoid bone loss. Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a review of the PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and Medline databases was performed in March 2025. Studies were limited to those reporting outcomes for patients ≥16 years old with subcritical glenoid bone loss (≤20%) and undergoing primary DAS-LHB with Bankart repair. Articles were assessed for range of motion, patient-reported outcomes, recurrent instability, and reoperation rates. The Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies scoring criteria were used for study appraisal. Forest plots were created to visualize mean differences in variables of interest. Results: Among the 4 studies evaluated, 90 patients with mean ages of 23.4 to 31.9 years were included. Average follow-up and bone loss ranged from 24.0 to 41.8 months and 8.0% to 10.5%, respectively. Rowe scores showed improvements ranging from 54.5 to 74.0 points, with 87.9% to 100% of patients meeting minimal clinically important difference thresholds. Changes in forward flexion and external rotation ranged from 3° to 23° and -2.3° to 8.3°, respectively. Four patients (4.4%) experienced a recurrence of dislocation, of whom 2 underwent successful revision with a Latarjet procedure. Of all patients, 90.1% to 100.0% were able to return to sport at any level, while 60.0% to 78.8% returned to their preinjury level of athletic involvement. Conclusions: DAS-LHB in conjunction with Bankart repair preserves motion while showing clinically important functional improvements with low rates of recurrent instability or complication in the short-term postoperative period for patients with symptomatic shoulder instability. Level of Evidence: Level IV, systematic review of Level III and IV studies.
