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

With advances in medical technology, the use and indications for arthroscopic procedures have expanded. Simulation training has been shown to directly translate to operative skills; however, high costs and limited funding impede access for many orthopaedic surgery resident physicians. This article introduces a low-cost, high-fidelity, highly adaptable, and anatomically accurate 3-dimensional-printed arthroscopic shoulder simulator that can improve access to arthroscopic training opportunities. This simulator was developed from computed tomography imaging of a cadaveric shoulder and designed with easily assembled, modular components that can simulate multiple shoulder pathologies. The authors show a double-row rotator cuff repair using the simulator. This procedure and others can be simulated with a rubber band, a glove, or a commercially available bone block.
