Outcomes overall SAPS group and control group. Shows the fitted trend lines and regression coefficients, adjusted for clustering of patients within hospitals, of the number of monthly SAD surgeries (left; SAPS group) and other orthopaedic procedures (right; control group) before and after publication of the RCTs (time in relation to intervention represented in months). The dashed lines represent the fitted trend lines post-intervention as if the RCTs had not been published. Significant values are presented in bold. Abbreviations: SAD = subacromial decompression, IRR = incidence rate ratio, 95%CI = 95% Confidence Interval
