“…If asymmetry in the funnel plot was detected, we planned to review the characteristics of the trials to assess whether the asymmetry was likely due to publication bias or other factors such as methodological or clinical heterogeneity of the trials. To assess outcome reporting bias, we compared the outcomes specified in trial protocols with the outcomes reported in the corresponding trial publications; if trial protocols were unavailable, we compared the outcomes reported in the methods and results sections of the trial publications.”187…”

“…“Compared with non-operative treatment, low-certainty evidence indicates surgery (repair with subacromial decompression) may have little or no effect on function at 12 months. The evidence was downgraded two steps, once for bias and once for imprecision—the 95% CIs overlap minimal important difference in favour of surgery at this time point.” A summary of findings table presents the same information as the text above, with footnotes explaining judgments 187…”

“…Rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder disease with an incidence of more than 20% that frequently requires surgical reconstruction 1 , 2 . The current surgical approaches to repair torn rotator cuff tendons have unacceptably low success ratios 3 . Failure is ascribed to a lack of functional enthesis structure, consisting of tendon, non-calcified fibrocartilage, calcified fibrocartilage, and bone, and formation of fibrovascular scar tissue with inferior mechanical properties 4 .…”

“…For early-stage impingement, conservative multimodal treatment is the most preferred option. On the other hand, for stage , stage impingement, and rotator cuff tears, shoulder arthroscopic surgery (including arthroscopic acromioplasty or/and rotator cuff repair) is an effective and minimally invasive treatment [3,4]. Although little visible blood loss in minimally invasive surgeries is well documented, postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) or hematocrit (Hct) of patients undergoing those surgeries are found to be maintained at lower levels than the preoperative [5][6][7].…”
