Osteoporosis is a risk factor for complications and reoperations at 1 and 3 years after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

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: Osteoporosis is associated with compromised bone quality and healing potential. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) restores shoulder function and reduces pain in patients with rotator cuff pathology. The influence of osteoporosis on complications and long-term outcomes following RCR remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between osteoporosis and outcomes after arthroscopic RCR. Methods: The PearlDiver Mariner 170 dataset was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were grouped by whether they had a diagnosis of osteoporosis within the year prior to RCR. The 2 groups were propensity score matched 1:1 on age, gender, and comorbidities. Outcomes were assessed at 1 year and 3 years post-operatively. The outcomes of interest included repeat RCR, Surgical Site Infection, frozen shoulder (FS), proximal humerus fracture, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), and lysis of adhesions/manipulation under anesthesia. Results: After propensity score matching, there were no differences in demographics and comorbidities between groups. At 1 year post-operatively, the osteoporosis group had increased rates of FS (3.7% vs. 3.1%; Conclusion: Patients with osteoporosis are at increased risk of FS, proximal humerus fractures, and TSA at 1 and 3 years after arthroscopic RCR. Overall rates of complication were low and osteoporosis should not be considered a contraindication to arthroscopic RCR.
