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

backgroundGlenoid retroversion and humeral head subluxation have been suggested to lead to inferior outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). There are limited data to support this suggestion. We investigated whether preoperative glenoid retroversion and humeral head subluxation are associated with inferior outcomes after TSA and whether change of retroversion influences outcomes after TSA.

methodsPatients undergoing TSA with minimum 2-year follow-up were included from a prospectively collected institutional shoulder arthroplasty database. Retroversion and humeral head subluxation before and after surgery were measured on axillary radiographs. Postoperative radiographs were -evaluated for glenoid component loosening and compared between groups. Spearman correlations were determined between retroversion measurements and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES) scores. Patients were analyzed in groups based on retroversion and humeral head subluxation.

resultsThere were 113 patients (50% follow-up rate) evaluated at 4.2 years postoperatively. The mean preoperative retroversion (15.3° ± 7.7°) was significantly higher than postoperative retroversion (10.0° ± 6.8°; DISCUSSION: We observed no significant relationship between postoperative glenoid retroversion or humeral head subluxation and clinical outcomes in patients following TSA. For patients with preoperative retroversion >15°, change of retroversion during TSA had no impact on their clinical outcomes at short-term follow-up.
