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: Subcritical bone has been shown to result in a higher rate of recurrent instability and inferior outcomes after an arthroscopic soft tissue Bankart procedure alone. The ideal surgery for patients with subcritical bone loss remains controversial, with options including arthroscopic Bankart alone, Bankart plus Remplissage (BRR), open Bankart, or a bone transfer procedure. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes between the arthroscopic BRR with an open Latarjet for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability in patients with glenoid bone loss (GBL) from 13.5% to 24% in an active-duty military population. It was hypothesized that there will be no difference in recurrence rate or patient-reported outcomes between the 2 procedures. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective matched-cohort comparison of patients who underwent anterior glenohumeral instability procedures with subcritical bone loss was performed. Inclusion criteria included symptomatic anterior shoulder instability, subcritical GBL (13.5% to 24%), recurrent instability with ≥2 instability episodes, surgical treatment with arthroscopic BRR or open Latarjet, and minimum follow-up of 2 years. Outcomes assessed included recurrent instability (defined as postoperative dislocation or subjective subluxation), military physical restrictions, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) score, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score. Results: In total, 50 patients were included, 25 of whom underwent an arthroscopic BRR and 25 patients who were treated with an open Latarjet. Mean bone loss was 16.1% and 19.3%, respectively. Five patients experienced recurrent instability, 3 in the arthroscopic BRR group and 2 in the open Latarjet group ( Conclusion: In our small cohort of active-duty military patients with subcritical GBL, there was no difference in recurrent instability between arthroscopic BRR compared with open Latarjet. Additionally, there was no significant difference in postoperative SANE or WOSI scores, complications, or the number of patients placed on permanent military restriction.
