More Adverse Events after Osteosyntheses Compared to Arthroplasty in Geriatric Proximal Humeral Fractures Involving Anatomical Neck.

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
The purpose of this study was to compare adverse events and clinical outcomes of geriatric proximal humerus fractures (PHF) involving the anatomical neck (type C according to AO classification) treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using locking plate vs. arthroplasty. In this retrospective cohort study, geriatric patients (>64 years) who underwent operative treatment using ORIF or arthroplasty for type C PHFs were included. Complications, revisions and clinical outcomes using Constant Murley Score (CMS) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Score were assessed and compared between groups. At a mean follow up of 2.7 ± 1.7 years, 59 patients (mean age 75.3 ± 5.5 years) were included. In 31 patients ORIF was performed and 29 patients underwent arthroplasty. Complications and revision surgeries were significantly more frequent after ORIF (32.6% vs. 7.1%,
