Clinical Outcomes and Recurrence Rates After Arthroscopic Soft Tissue Stabilization With Selective Augmentations for Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Instability in Athletes Versus Non-athletes With Subcritical Glenoid Bone Loss.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Although some studies have reported good outcomes of soft tissue procedures in athletes, to our knowledge, no study has directly compared the clinical outcomes and recurrence rates of soft tissue procedures between athletes and non-athletes. Therefore, we aimed to compare clinical outcomes and recurrence rates between athletes and non-athletes with subcritical glenoid bone defects, who received arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization surgery for traumatic anterior shoulder instability. Methods This retrospective comparative study included patients who received primary arthroscopic shoulder stabilization surgery for traumatic anterior shoulder instability, with a minimum two-year follow-up and a glenoid bone defect <20%. The patients were categorized into athlete or non-athlete groups. For the included patients, we performed one of the following procedures: arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR), ABR with Hill-Sachs remplissage (HSR), or arthroscopic bony Bankart repair (ABBR). We investigated patient characteristics, including preoperative glenoid and humeral head pathology, and compared the two groups in terms of the Korean Shoulder Score for Instability (KSSI), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score, Rowe score, and range of motion (ROM) at two years postoperatively. Postoperative recurrence and reoperation rates were also compared. Results Altogether, 39 non-athletes and 15 athletes were included. Significantly higher KSSI (athletes: 98.00; non-athletes: 94.64; p = 0.012) was observed in the athletes than in the non-athletes. Meanwhile, the UCLA (athletes: 34.33; non-athletes: 33.87; p = 0.370) and Rowe (athletes: 96.67; non-athletes: 96.67; p = 0.460) scores were not significantly different between the two groups. Five (13%) non-athletes and one (7%) athlete experienced postoperative instability recurrence, which was not significantly different (p = 1.000). Fourteen (93%) athletes returned to sports completely after 5.4 months (range, 4-8 months) on average. Conclusion Arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization surgery yielded good clinical outcomes and low recurrence rates in both athletes and non-athletes with subcritical glenoid bone defects.
