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

The purpose of our study was the clinical characteristics, radiographic appearance, and outcomes after treatment in patients with rapid destructive arthrosis (RDA) due to subchondral insufficiency fracture (SIF) of the shoulder. Twenty-two cases of RDA of the shoulder were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical outcomes for 15 cases who underwent shoulder arthroplasty were evaluated at an average of 41.4 months. The mean age of patients was 73.7 years (range 50-83 years), and there were 20 women and 2 men. The mean time from onset of symptoms to head collapse was 6.8 months (range 1-12 months). The mean t-score of bone mineral density was -3.1. Nine patients had pseudoparalysis. Based on radiographic appearance, a diversity of types of head destruction with subchondral fracture, bone marrow edema, joint effusion, and synovitis were observed in all cases. In conclusion, RDA due to SIF of the shoulder, presenting with severe short-term pain and functional disability, commonly occurred in elderly women with bone fragility. MRI revealed bone marrow edema, extensive joint effusion, and synovitis as well as a diversity of types of head destruction with subchondral fracture within several months from onset of symptoms.
