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: Snapping scapula syndrome is characterized as an audible crepitus or snapping sensation during scapular motion that can cause pain or discomfort. Indications: It is initially treated nonoperatively, but after failed conservative treatment, it can be treated with open or arthroscopic resection of the symptomatic portion of the scapula. Technique Description: The technique in this video is the open resection of the symptomatic superomedial angle of the scapula for treatment of snapping scapula syndrome. Results: The expected result of this procedure is complete resolution of pain and elimination of the snapping or crepitus with scapular motion. Discussion/Conclusion: Open excision for snapping scapula syndrome is a safe and easy procedure to perform with good clinical outcomes for persistent symptomatic patients who have failed conservative treatment. Patient Consent Disclosure Statement: The author(s) attests that consent has been obtained from any patient(s) appearing in this publication. If the individual may be identifiable, the author(s) has included a statement of release or other written form of approval from the patient(s) with this submission for publication.
