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: The Latarjet procedure is a common technique to address anteroinferior shoulder instability. However, inadequate positioning of the coracoid bone graft may lead to persistent instability or early arthritis, with complication rates described up to 15% in open procedures. Adequate bone-block positioning tailored to patients' scapular morphology may reduce these complications. This study aims to optimize the Patient-Specific Instrumentation (PSI) Latarjet procedure by detailing the technique and assessing the accuracy of graft positioning through a comparison of the digitally planned and actual surgical outcomes. It is hypothesized that patient-specific, 3D-printed guides will enhance coracoid graft accuracy in the open Latarjet procedure. Methods: Between January and May 2024, 5 patients underwent the open PSI Latarjet procedure. Using computer aided design software, the procedure was digitally planned, followed by the design and production of PSI drill guides utilized in a standard double screw technique. Patients were immobilized for three weeks with radiological evaluations at 6 weeks postoperatively. Results: All patients were included in the analysis. Compared to digitally planning, the median mediolateral displacement was 0.01 mm medially (range 1.8 mm medially-1.7 mm laterally), and the median craniocaudal displacement was 0.97 mm caudally (range 5.16 mm caudally-5.58 mm cranially), from what was digitally planned. Modifications to the PSI guides were made over time to improve accuracy, though one screw was malpositioned in a single case. However, all grafts showed evidence of graft healing within 6 weeks. Conclusion: The open PSI Latarjet procedure is safe and reliable, showing accurate graft positioning at six weeks postsurgery. We believe that 3D printing marks a significant advancement for surgeons, allowing a shift from conventional instruments to innovative, customized solutions.
