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

Scapular exostoses are rare, and ventral lesions are more common than dorsal lesions. Scapular exostoses can cause symptoms including pain and mechanical crepitus due to scapulothoracic bursitis, decreased active range of motion, "pseudowinging" of the scapula and snapping scapula. Surgery is indicated for symptomatic scapular exostosis. Although open surgical resection remains the standard approach, it is associated with significant tissue disruption and longer rehabilitation. The purpose of this technical note is to report the details of endoscopic resection of exostosis at the medial border of scapula. This technique is feasible for lesions at dorsal or ventral side of the scapula.
