Which physical examination tests provide clinicians with the most value when examining the shoulder? Update of a systematic review with meta-analysis of individual tests

TL;DR: The use of any single ShPE test to make a pathognomonic diagnosis cannot be unequivocally recommended and there is a great need for large, prospective, well-designed studies that examine the diagnostic accuracy of the many aspects of the clinical examination and what combinations of these aspects are useful in differentially diagnosing pathologies of the shoulder.

Arthroscopic subacromial decompression for subacromial shoulder pain (CSAW): a multicentre, pragmatic, parallel group, placebo-controlled, three-group, randomised surgical trial

TL;DR: The findings question the value of this operation for subacromial shoulder pain and function, and this should be communicated to patients during the shared treatment decision-making process.

TL;DR: A working group formed from a number of Dutch specialist societies, joined by the Dutch Orthopedic Association, has produced a new outlook for the treatment of subacromial pain syndrome, with no convincing evidence that surgical treatment for SAPS is more effective than conservature management.

Empirical evidence of bias. Dimensions of methodological quality associated with estimates of treatment effects in controlled trials.
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided that inadequate methodological approaches in controlled trials, particularly those representing poor allocation concealment, are associated with bias.

Updated method guidelines for systematic reviews in the cochrane collaboration back review group.
TL;DR: The recommendations are divided in five categories: literature search, inclusion criteria, methodologic quality assessment, data extraction, and data analysis, and additional recommendations are included regarding assessment of clinical relevance, and reporting of results and conclusions.

What is meant by intention to treat analysis? Survey of published randomised controlled trials
Sally Hollis,Fiona Campbell +1 more
TL;DR: Assessment of reports of randomised controlled trials published in 1997 found that intention to treat was used, but handling of deviations from randomised allocation varied widely and methods used to deal with this were generally inadequate, potentially leading to bias.

TL;DR: The reported prevalence figures on shoulder complaints diverged strongly and health professionals and policymakers who estimate the amount of medical care needed and related costs should be aware of the variations in prevalence rate and the underlying reasons for these differences.
