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

Background: Although short- to mid-term clinical data of patients undergoing arthroscopic capsulolabral revision repair (ACRR) for recurrent anterior shoulder instability are promising, evidence pertaining to long-term functional, sports- and work-related outcomes is scarce. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to provide prospectively collected long-term functional outcomes, sports activity, and work ability of patients undergoing ACRR for recurrent anterior shoulder instability. It was hypothesized that patients would maintain significant functional improvement, along with sufficient sports activity and work ability, at a minimum follow-up of 20 years. Study Design: Case Series; Level of Evidence 4. Methods: Patients who underwent ACRR between September 1998 and August 2003 and had a minimum follow-up of 20 years were analyzed. Functional outcome measures included the Rowe and Constant-Murley (CM) scores, as well as the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, which were collected preoperatively, at short-term follow-up (a minimum of 2 years), and at a minimum final follow-up of 20 years. The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores were only collected at the final follow-up. Return to sports and work-including sports and work level and discipline-were evaluated using a custom sports and work ability assessment tool. Results: A total of 29 patients (mean age at surgery, 28.6 ± 9.8 years) were included in the study, with a mean follow-up of 21.1 ± 1.5 years (range, 20-24 years). The rate of recurrent instability was 27.6% (n = 8), while 10.3% (n = 3) underwent revision surgery. In those without recurrent instability, the Rowe and CM scores showed significant improvements at both the minimum 2-year and minimum 20-year follow-ups, compared with preoperatively ( Conclusion: Patients undergoing ACRR for recurrent anterior shoulder instability had a recurrent instability rate of 27.6% at a minimum 20-year follow-up. Those patients without recurrence maintained significant improvements in functional outcomes and achieved a favorable postoperative sport activity and work ability.
