Toileting ability of patients after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
Article in JSES international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the toileting ability (TA) of patients undergoing primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) and identify factors associated with TA postoperatively.
methodsA questionnaire regarding toileting was administered to 119 patients who underwent primary RTSA with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Patients were separated into 2 groups based on whether the arm that underwent RTSA was the one used for toileting (study group, n = 74) or not (control group, n = 45). Patient-reported TA was calculated both before and after RTSA. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with TA postoperatively.
resultsImpairment in TA before RTSA was higher in the study group and affected almost three-quarters of the patients (72%). In the study group, primary RTSA resulted in a statistically significant improvement in TA (
conclusionsOver 90% of patients can manage toileting after primary RTSA, and total toileting inability is rare after the procedure (1.3%). Patients should be counseled that after primary RTSA, they have a high probability of being able to manage toileting with independence even if it is with some difficulty.
