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

Stiffness is a well-known complication after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Although multiple factors may be involved, the main cause for stiffness is rarely identified. Imaging studies frequently are inconclusive in ruling out mechanical or biological causes. Periprosthetic infection should be always suspected, but the absence of major clinical signs and accurate diagnostic tests is frequent. A lack of objective criteria establishing a diagnosis and when to proceed with revision surgery is often present in such cases. Moreover, additional surgical procedures should be carefully evaluated, as they can represent a point of no return. Shoulder arthroscopy plays an increasingly important role in these cases, either as a diagnostic or therapeutic tool. There are no reports about arthroscopy on stiffness after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. In this Technical Note, we describe an arthroscopic technique aimed to identify potential causes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty stiffness. Subsequent circumferential release is described and discussed.
