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

backgroundTimely access to care after rotator cuff tear is an important factor in treatment success. We sought to determine the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and time to treatment among patients who underwent rotator cuff repair (RCR) in a publicly funded health care system, including time from general practitioner diagnosis to orthopedic consultation (T1) and time from orthopedic consultation to surgery (T2).

methodsWe conducted a retrospective, population-based cohort study using data from the Manitoba Population Research Data Repository. We calculated T1 and T2 for all patients who underwent RCR between 1990 and 2020. We compared times between SES levels as defined using the Socioeconomic Factor Index-2 (SEFI-2). We compared SES level between surgical and nonsurgical patients with rotator cuff injuries between 2015 and 2020.

resultsThere were no significant differences in T1 and T2 by SES level (

conclusionIn a publicly funded health care system, patients with lower SES were less likely to undergo RCR than those with higher SES. The odds of waiting longer than 1 year for surgery from the time of orthopedic consultation were greatest among patients with the lowest SES.
