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: Rotator cuff repair (RCR) is commonly performed to treat symptomatic rotator cuff tears, but post-operative recovery can be influenced by patient-level factors beyond structural pathology. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a prevalent mental health condition associated with altered pain perception and substance use, may affect recovery following RCR. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX Research Network. Adult patients undergoing RCR with PTSD were matched 1:1 to patients without PTSD based on demographics and comorbidities. Ninety-day and 2-year post-operative outcomes were evaluated, and relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results: A total of 2,262 matched patients were included per cohort. At 90 days, there were no differences in medical complications between groups. However, patients with PTSD demonstrated increased emergency department (ED) visits (16.58% vs. 11.16%, RR: 1.49, Conclusion: PTSD is associated with sleep disorders, ED utilization, and cannabis use disorders. These findings highlight the importance of addressing psychosocial factors in post-operative recovery.
