Psychosocial factors associated with postoperative outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

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
Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is a common treatment for rotator cuff tears with postoperative outcomes being influenced by multiple factors. Patient characteristics and surgical techniques are well-documented associated with postoperative outcomes; however, the role of psychosocial factors, including pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, and pain self-efficacy, in influencing postoperative functional outcomes remains unclear. The present study explores whether psychosocial factors are associated with postoperative outcomes following ARCR. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent ARCR for full-thickness supraspinatus tears between January 2022 and May 2024. Comprehensive data were collected before and after surgery, including patient demographics, characteristics of the tendon lesion, surgical techniques, and psychosocial factors evaluated using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. The primary outcome measure was the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between patient demographics, characteristics of the tendon lesion, surgical techniques, psychosocial factors, preoperative ASES scores, and the postoperative ASES scores. Results: Significant improvements were observed postoperatively in ASES, TSK-11, PCS, and Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire scores ( Conclusion: This study suggests a potential association between psychosocial factors-such as kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing-and functional recovery after ARCR. Although causality cannot be inferred, these associations highlight the potential clinical relevance of psychosocial factors in postoperative recovery. Poorer psychological scores, including high TSK-11 and PCS scores, were associated with lower postoperative outcomes. Further investigation is needed to explore how interventions targeting these psychosocial factors can enhance recovery and patient satisfaction.
