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: Recurrent anterior shoulder instability is frequently associated with Hill-Sachs and Bankart lesions, which compromise joint stability. While arthroscopic Bankart repair remains a widely accepted treatment for anterior shoulder instability, combining it with remplissage, with or without anterior subscapularis augmentation (ASA), has been proposed to enhance outcomes in these cases. Purpose: To compare the clinical and functional outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage, with or without ASA, in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and subcritical glenoid bone loss (GBL) (<15%). Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 56 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability who underwent surgery at a single tertiary university hospital between 2018 and 2022. Patients were grouped into 2 categories based on the surgical approach: Bankart repair with remplissage (group A) and Bankart repair with both remplissage and ASA (group B). Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Rowe score and the modified Constant-Murley (CM) score, while external rotation (ER) deficits were measured in adduction (ER1) and at 90° abduction (ER2). In addition, recurrence rates and postoperative clinical scores were systematically analyzed to assess the efficacy of these techniques. Results: The recurrence rates were 5.1% in group A and 0% in group B. Both groups demonstrated significant postoperative improvements in clinical outcomes. In group A, the mean Rowe score improved from 37.8 ± 4.5 to 93.1 ± 5.3 and the CM score from 69.8 ± 7.2 to 96.5 ± 2.5 ( Conclusion: This study demonstrates that adding ASA to arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage significantly reduces ER while maintaining excellent clinical outcomes and low recurrence rates. The combination of these techniques provides a viable option for managing recurrent anterior instability, particularly in cases with poor tissue quality and GBL <15%.
