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

Introduction: Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) is a rare but important cause of shoulder instability, often underdiagnosed due to subtle imaging findings and associated common injuries like rotator cuff tears, resulting in persistent pain, recurrent instability, and failure of conventional stabilization procedures. Case Report: We present a case of a 48-year-old male who sustained an anterior HAGL lesion with an associated subscapularis tear following a traumatic anterior shoulder displacement. Magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopic visualization confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent arthroscopic restoration of the anterior humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament with knotless PEEK anchors. Postoperatively, the patient demonstrated better outcome scores and range of motion at 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: Early identification and surgical repair of HAGL lesions are crucial in restoring shoulder stability, especially in active individuals. Arthroscopic techniques provide excellent visualization and outcomes comparable to or superior to open repair when appropriately indicated.
