The relationship between Hill-Sachs lesion and scapular morphology in anterior shoulder instability.

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
objectiveThis study investigated the relationship between scapular morphological parameters (critical shoulder angle, glenoid inclination, and glenoid version) and Hill-Sachs lesion presence and size in anterior shoulder instability patients without critical glenoid bone loss (< 15%), using 3D computed tomography. MATERIALS AND
methodsComputed tomography (CT) images and arthroscopic records of 93 patients without critical glenoid bone loss who had anterior shoulder instability surgery were reviewed. 3D CT reconstructions were made using 3D Slicer software. Critical shoulder angle (CSA), glenoid inclination (GI), and glenoid version (GV) were measured, and their associations with HSL length (HSL-L), HSL width (HSL-W), HSL depth (HSL-D) and HSL area (HSL-A) were analyzed. Patients were grouped by HSL presence, and statistical analyses were conducted.
resultsHSLs were identified in 61 of 93 patients (32 HSL-negative). CSA was significantly higher in HSL-positive than HSL-negative patients (34.5 ± 2.9° vs 30.4 ± 1.7°, P < 0.001). Logistic regression showed CSA was independently associated with HSL presence (P = 0.002; OR = 2.7). CSA above 32.1° showed 77.8% sensitivity and 83.7% specificity for HSL presence. CSA correlated with HSL-L and HSL-A, and GI positively correlated with HSL size parameters (HSL-L, HSL-W, HSL-D and HSL-A). HSL presence and size were independent of dislocation number, age, sex, and side.
conclusionsHSL presence and size were associated with scapular morphology, with CSA independently predicting HSL presence at values above 32.1°. These findings apply to patients with anterior shoulder instability without critical glenoid bone loss (< 15%). CSA may serve as an ancillary parameter in stabilization surgery planning, particularly when choosing between Bankart repair and Bankart + remplissage.
