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

Anterior shoulder pain after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is both challenging to diagnose and treat and can be attributed to the conjoint tendon, coracoid process, and pectoralis minor. Various open and arthroscopic techniques have been proposed to address singular aspects of these painful structures, although a global treatment has not been described. Herein we describe an all-arthroscopic approach to the treatment of anterior shoulder pain after RSA, incorporating subacromial and subdeltoid decompression, conjoint tendon release, pectoralis minor release, and coracoid excision. This addresses both bony and soft-tissue aspects of subcoracoid impingement and altered muscular tension after RSA.
