Full-House Arthroscopic Treatment of Snapping Scapula Syndrome: Bursectomy, Levator Scapulae Release, and Partial Scapulectomy.

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
The scapulothoracic joint is unique as the result of its configuration, setting, and functioning. The concave scapula must glide smoothly on the convex thoracic cage to provide a functional foundation for glenohumeral motion. Alterations of this subtle relationship the between concave scapula and convex thoracic cage may trigger snapping scapula syndrome. This pathology is commonly misdiagnosed and underreported. The main treatment is conservative in nature but in situations in which it fails after a long period, surgery is an option, specifically anarthroscopic technique. The gold standard of arthroscopic treatment is based on bursectomy and partial scapulectomy. The levator scapulae is involved in the painful pathophysiology of the snapping scapula syndrome, so its release is a critical step in the setting of the arthroscopic treatment. On this basis, a "full-house" arthroscopic treatment must include bursectomy, release of the levator scapulae, and partial scapulectomy.
