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

purposeWe hypothesized that osteoarthritis developing after instability surgery is radiographically similar to primary arthritis and that arthroplasty provides comparable outcomes in patients with these two types of osteoarthritis.

methodsPatients with osteoarthritis due to instability surgery (group I) and with primary osteoarthritis (group II) were included. Mean follow-up was 52.6 and 41.6 months, respectively. Hemiarthroplasties (HA) were 32% in group I and 27% in group II; total shoulder arthroplasties (TSA) were 68 and 73% respectively. Outcome measures included active shoulder mobility (anterior elevation [AAE], lateral elevation [ALE], external rotation [ER], and internal rotation [IR]), pain, Constant-Murley score, and Simple Shoulder Test. Pre-operative and post-operative radiographs were taken. Glenoid arthritis was assessed by computed tomography.

resultsParticipants were 19 in the group I (mean age 44.5 years, 12 males, 7 females) and 30 in the group II (mean age 48.2 years, 28 males, 12 females). Both patient groups had pre-operative concentric arthritis. Group II had higher rates of A2 and B1 glenoids (p = 0.003). A longer interval from stabilization to replacement was associated with lower post-operative IR (p = 0.017) and ALE (p = 0.035). Post-operative ER and IR were higher in group I (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). In group I, AFE and ALE were higher in HA than TSA patients (both p = 0.009). The CS and SST score increased significantly in both groups (both p < 0.001). Group II showed significantly greater humeral radiolucency (p = 0.025) and a higher rate of TSA revision to reverse prostheses compared with group I.

conclusionsShoulder replacement provides similar clinical and radiographic outcomes in arthritis secondary to instability surgery and in primary osteoarthritis. Posterior glenoid wear is more common in primary osteoarthritis.
