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

objectiveThe purpose of this study is to estimate stress distribution occurring in the humerus during elevation and external rotation of the arm.Methods: contact forces and moments were estimated using telemeterized shoulder implants. An accurate three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of the natural scapula was developed, and loaded by data obtained by instrumented prosthesis.

resultsStresses of about 40 MPa were found on the homerus during the elevation phase acting at 30° and 80°, while a peak of 60 MPa was found during the external rotation phase at 20°. The stress aging on scapula was of about 45 MPa, while the acromion was subjected at about 30 MPa. Stresses aging on ligaments were of about 15 MPa.

conclusionThese results indicated that the transfer of major muscle and joint reaction take place predominantly through the thick bony ridges, and stresses induced can be dangerous especially for patients with shoulder problems or during the first post-operative weeks after shoulder fractures or joint replacements.
