Improvement of Sleep Disturbance After Rotator Cuff Repair Occurs at 3 Months.
Review in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are highly prevalent and can have a detrimental effect on the sleep quality of affected patients. However, several studies have shown improvement of sleep after rotator cuff repair (RCR). Purpose: To look at the timeline of sleep improvement after RCR in patients with RCTs. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1-20) were queried through October 2024. Inclusion criteria consisted of studies that compared the number of patients with sleep disturbances before and after RCR. The compared outcomes consisted of the number of patients with disturbed sleep preoperatively and 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Sleep disturbance was evaluated either by a patient-reported binary outcome indicating the presence or absence of sleep disturbance or by a validated objective sleep assessment score such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index or numeric rating scale. Results: Nine retrospective studies (based on 8 cohorts), 3 prospective studies, and 1 randomized controlled trial met the inclusion criteria. When studies compared patients with or without sleep disturbances as a binary outcome, a significant improvement in sleep was seen at 3 months (OR = 6.41; 95% CI, 5.01 to 8.22; Conclusion: The present study shows that improvement in sleep disturbances in patients with RCTs occurred as early as 3 months after RCR. Future studies looking at the various factors related to the disturbance and improvement of sleep in patients with RCTs are needed.
