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

Suprascapular neuropathy caused by spinoglenoid notch cysts (SGNCs) is a rare condition with unclear etiology, typically presenting with significant shoulder pain and weakness. This case report describes two patients who underwent arthroscopic decompression and cyst excision: one with a labral lesion and the other with an isolated cyst. The patient with labral involvement was treated via the labral repair approach, while the patient without labral pathology underwent a direct decompression of the cyst through the subacromial space. Both patients experienced progressive pain relief and functional recovery during follow-up. This study highlights the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic management for SGNCs and recommends a tailored surgical approach depending on the presence or absence of labral lesions.
