Surgical Treatment for the Ossification of the Coracoclavicular Ligaments: A Case Series of Four Patients.

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
Introduction: Ossification of the coracoclavicular ligaments is a rarely described diagnosis that impairs shoulder functioning, and the best choice of treatment is unknown. In this article, four patients are described undergoing the surgical removal of this ossification. In three cases, the additional reconstruction of the ligaments is performed. Case Series: The patients were retrospectively enrolled, and the patient-related outcome measures were recorded. These included pain, satisfaction and specific shoulder scores that quantified their functioning in activities of daily living following surgery. The follow-up was 34-48 months. The overall patient satisfaction and shoulder function were fairly high. However, all the patients still had some disability in daily life. Conclusion: The surgical removal of ossified coracoclavicular ligaments is likely to improve shoulder pain and functioning, but patients should be aware of some residual impairment in daily life.
