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

Despite the recent advances in surgical techniques, the percentage of painful shoulder arthroplasties is still high (more than 10%). The causes of residual pain after shoulder arthroplasty, and the resulting treatment solutions, are many and different. The most common complications of shoulder prosthesis are infections, aseptic loosening, modular components disassembling, metal hypersensitivity, and instability. There are also implant-related complications such as glenoid wear in hemiarthroplasty, rotator cuff tear in anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty, scapular notching, and acromion fracture in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Several of these complications can be avoided with a careful selection of the implants, a proper surgical technique and a precise implant positioning. The execution of a more accurate preoperative planning and the possible use of patient-specific implants are expected to translate into better clinical results in the future. We provide the reader with recent evidence on the causes and therapeutic options of this condition.
