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

introductionHead preserving, delayed osteosynthesis five days after a luxated, multifragmentary humeral head fracture is rarely seen and a challenge for the surgeon. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This case history describes the case of a 69-year-old female with delayed head preserving treatment of a dislocated multifragmentary humeral head fracture using intramedullary nailing, avoiding a primary trauma arthroplasty after strict refusal of the patient despite poor prognosis and high risk of avascular humeral head necrosis. DISCUSSION: The treatment of the humeral head fracture is still a matter of debate, the "golden standard" does not exist, especially in the deferred luxated situation. With the use of modern implants head preserving treatment is reasonable and possible. It should therefore always be taken into account as an alternative for arthroplasty.

conclusionExcellent postoperative outcome can be achieved by joint reconstruction eliminating the possible side effects of shoulder endoprosthesis.
