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

backgroundLoss of shoulder range of motion (ROM) is common after surgical management of anterior shoulder instability; however, it remains unclear to what degree this is related to their injury.

aimThe purpose of this study was to compare passive shoulder ROM in patients with ASI to a normal contralateral shoulder.

methodsA total of 121 patients undergoing stabilization surgery were prospectively enrolled. Preoperative advanced imaging was used to assess for glenoid bone loss and the presence of off-track Hill-Sachs lesions. Passive ROM was measured in both shoulders while under anaesthesia prior to surgery.

resultsIn all directions, there was a significant loss of ROM in shoulders with instability. Regression analysis showed that neither a glenoid bone defect nor greater glenoid bone loss were associated with a loss of ROM in any plane. The presence of a Hill-Sachs lesion was significantly associated with a loss of external rotation, while off-track lesions were associated with a loss of ROM in all planes (p < 0.05).

conclusionPatients with anterior shoulder instability lost motion in all directions, with a profound loss of external rotation. The presence of a glenoid bone defect nor greater bone loss did not reliably predict a loss of range of motion. A Hill-Sachs lesion was predictive of a loss of external rotation, while an off-track lesion was predictive of a loss of range in all directions.
