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

backgroundThis study aimed to analyze national and institutional trends in shoulder arthroplasty utilization based on patient race.

methodsThe Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was employed to determine racial trends in shoulder arthroplasty utilization at a national level. An institutional database was then utilized to retrospectively identify all patients, undergoing shoulder arthroplasty within 2011-2013. Descriptive statistics were used to compare self-identified black and non-black subpopulations.

resultsThe NIS identified 256,832 primary shoulder arthroplasties within 2005-2011. Black patients constituted 3.92% (n=10,074) of cases. Utilization increased from 3.36% in 2005 to 4.49% in 2011. Locally, a total number of 1,174 primary shoulder arthroplasties were performed, the recipients of 5.96% (n=70) of which were black. Females accounted for 48/70 (68.6%) of black patients. Black patients had a higher body mass index (33.6 vs. 30.1,

conclusionThe findings revealed significant racial disparity in shoulder arthroplasty utilization both at national and institutional levels. This disparity exists despite the similar rates of osteoarthritis in both white and black patients. Black patients in our institution had similar clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic characteristics as in our non-black patients. The obtained results highlighted the need for the expansion of black patients' access to care services related to major joint reconstruction.
