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

introductionIn patients with Parkinson's disease falling is very common and for this reason, the prosthetic surgical indication in shoulder is reserved for special cases. PD has been linked to several interrelated factors that may contribute to failure of shoulder arthroplasty. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old woman with PD, severe pain, recurrent bursitis, swelling and functional limitation to all movements in left shoulder presented to our attention. Radiographic and CT exams show cuff-tear arthropathy. The patient was submitted to implantation of a Reverse Shoulder Comprehensive Nano cementless modular system (Biomet(®), Warsaw, IN, USA) with anterosuperior surgical approach. We chose this kind of solution of stemless humeral component after bone mineral consideration. DISCUSSION: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty represents an option in the management of glenohumeral arthritis. Poor functional results of RTSA in patients with PD have been attributed to increased muscle tone, severity of tremor and an increased mortality rate. In general, post operative complications related to the humeral component are dominated by fractures (between 1 and 3%): in patients with PD this percentage is higher because of falls often occur. With a stemless implant revisions can be performed easily. Overall, the anterosuperior surgical exposure gives a low risk of postoperative instability.

conclusionIn selected cases of patients with PD, after carefully analysis of bone quality, the use of a stemless component is of benefit in the possible revision cases for periprosthetic fractures and the use of an anterosuperior exposure reduces the percentage of instability. The results obtained about the pain relief are excellent in contrast with functional outcomes that remain poor.
