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

Although fractures of the proximal humerus are one of the most common osteoporotic fracture types, no generally accepted treatment algorithm exists in the current literature. For young patients with high functional demands and good rehabilitation potential, we recommend humeral head salvage therapy. If symptomatic humeral head necrosis occurs, the implantation of an anatomic endoprothesis is possible on a secondary basis. For patients with a biological age > 70 years suffering from a persisting defect of the rotator cuff along with a humeral head fracture or from a multiple fragment fracture of the humeral head, we increasingly prefer implantation of a reverse shoulder prosthesis due to good clinical results. However, because of technical aspects and a high complication rate, treatment using the reverse fracture prosthesis should be reserved for surgeons with expertise in this particular field. After analyzing the fracture- and patient-specific risk factors and performance expectations, the trauma surgeon can select the best individual therapy with the patient.
