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: The Latarjet procedure is largely considered a successful procedure, however, evidenced by a nonnegligible failure rate in terms of residual apprehension, and subtle or frank instability. Despite conferring a triple block effect (improving glenoid width, capsulolabral repair and sling effect of split subscapularis), the procedure, however, fails to address Hill Sach's defect. Recent research on bipolar bone lesions in the setting of anterior instability has revealed the propensity of Latarjet to fail in the presence of larger Hill Sach lesions, which have higher chances of engagement of the anterior glenoid rim, emphasizing the need to treat these humeral bone defects. To this effect, remplissage has had a proven track record in combination with Bankart repair. Methods: The functional and clinical outcomes of patients having undergone arthroscopic Latarjet with remplissage with a minimum of 2 years and secondarily, the external rotation was assessed postoperatively. Results: In a total of 40 patients, there was a significant improvement in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Western Ontario Shoulder Index, and Rowe scores {Western Ontario Shoulder Index (1379/186.5), Rowe (19.69/91.41) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (44.5/93)} and external rotation. Visual analog score reduced significantly (6 - preoperative to 1 - postoperative). Though an external rotation deficit was observed, when compared to the opposite shoulder, the patients did not have any functional deficits in performing daily activities. Conclusion: Arthroscopic Latarjet combined with capsulolabral repair and remplissage yields good clinical and functional outcomes with no residual apprehension or instability recurrence in treating recurrent anterior instability at a 2-year minimum follow-up. The limitation of external rotation is minimal and clinically insignificant.
