Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Posterior Fracture Dislocation of the Shoulder Made Easy!
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
introductionPosteriorly dislocated humeral head fracture has a great implication, as it is associated with high risk of avascular necrosis, limited access through the deltopectoral approach, and posterior approach to the posteriorly dislocated humeral fracture increases the risk to the remaining blood supply. TECHNICAL TIP: Posteriorly dislocated humeral fracture is approached through deltopectoral approach. Schanz pin is inserted into the humeral head to achieve purchase in the humeral head. Applying laterally directed force the humeral head is disengaged from the lateral margin of glenoid. A rotatory force then repositions the humeral head into a congruous position. Open reduction internal fixation is then carried out in a standard fashion.
conclusionRetrieving the humeral head from the posteriorly dislocated position in patients with posterior fracture dislocation of the shoulder can be challenge to a trauma surgeon. With this novel technique, humeral head is reduced through deltopectoral approach without increasing the risk to the remaining blood supply.
