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

Posterior shoulder instability (PSI) is rare, accounting for 2-10% of all glenohumeral instabilities, and primarily affects young, physically active patients. Etiologically, traumatic, chronic-repetitive, and atraumatic-habitual forms are distinguished. Clinically, load-dependent posterior shoulder pain predominates, while a subjective feeling of instability is rarely reported. The Jerk and Kim tests are diagnostically decisive, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity for posteroinferior labral lesions; the modified O'Brien test can provide additional insight. The Stanmore and ABC classifications categorize PSI according to etiology and structural lesions, supporting treatment planning. Imaging diagnostics include radiographs to exclude major structural changes, CT to analyze bony factors such as glenoid retroversion, dysplasia, or bone defects, and MRI to detect typical posterior labral, capsular, and cartilage lesions.
