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

introductionPosterior shoulder dislocations comprise a small percentage of shoulder dislocations. Even more uncommon are posterior shoulder fracture-dislocations, which are commonly associated with trauma, seizures, and electrical shock. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present the case of a 64-year-old right-hand dominant male who sustained bilateral shoulder posterior fracture-dislocations after a hypoglycemia-induced seizure. The patient was treated with bilateral reverse total shoulder arthroplasties in a single-stage. He recovered well and continues to have excellent function and range of motion at 4-year follow-up. DISCUSSION: Treatment options for proximal humerus fracture-dislocations include open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), hemiarthroplasty, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). The indications for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty continue to expand.

conclusionThis is a rare case of bilateral posterior shoulder fracture-dislocations. In similar cases, simultaneous reverse total shoulder arthroplasties can be considered as a viable treatment option.
