Vitamin D deficiency and total shoulder arthroplasty complications.
Article in Shoulder & elbow, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and implant-related and medical complications following total shoulder arthroplasty.
methodsUsing the PearlDiver database, patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty from 2005 to 2016 with vitamin D deficiency were identified. These were compared to a 3:1 control group matched by age, sex, and presence of a concomitant osteoporosis diagnosis. Primary outcome measures were implant-related complications (loosening, periprosthetic fracture, periprosthetic joint infection, and revision total shoulder arthroplasty) in addition to medical complications within 90 days of surgery. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was utilized to control for patient demographics and comorbidities.
resultsOne thousand and six hundred and seventy-four patients with vitamin D deficiency were identified and compared to 5022 controls. There was a significantly higher rate of revision total shoulder arthroplasty in the vitamin D deficient patients compared to controls (2.3% versus 0.8%, odds ratio 3.3, p < 0.0001). After controlling for confounding variables, there were no significant differences in any of the remaining implant-related or medical complications with the exception of higher rates of urinary tract infections in patients with vitamin D deficiency.
conclusionsVitamin D deficiency is associated with a higher rate of all-cause revision total shoulder arthroplasty but not medical complications compared to controls.
