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

backgroundContemporary studies note sustained clinical benefit and decreasing complications after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), which warrant a comparison with the standard anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare differences in midterm survivorship between ATSA and RTSA patients treated with a single platform shoulder prosthesis. Secondary objectives include a comparison of the clinical outcomes and complication profile for each procedure.

methodsA prospective analysis of all primary ATSA and RTSA performed by 3 surgeons between 2007 and 2012 was conducted. Selection of the ATSA or RTSA implant configuration was determined by the surgeons per their clinical understanding of each individual patient's glenoid morphology, rotator cuff, and patient expectations. All 778 procedures were performed using a single platform shoulder system.

resultsSurvivorship for ATSA was similar to that for RTSA at all time points; ATSA at 2 and 8 years was 98.5% and 96.0%, whereas RTSA at 2 and 8 years was 98.7% and 96.0%, respectively (

conclusionsOn the basis of this cohort comparison, both ATSA and RTSA demonstrated similar survivorship at 8 years after surgery with multiple surgeons practicing in different countries. Our results demonstrate that the RTSA and ATSA implants have comparable results and can be expected to provide similar implant longevity over the midterm with excellent functional outcomes.
