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

introductionThe purpose of this study was to determine whether alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have increased: 1) lengths of stay (LOS); 2) complications; and 3) costs.

methodsThe study identified 19,168 patients in the study (n = 3198) and control (n = 15,970) cohort. In-hospital LOS, 90-day complications, and costs were assessed.

resultsAUD patients had significantly longer LOS (3- vs. 2-days,

conclusionsThe study is useful as it can allow healthcare professionals to adequately counsel these patients.
