Promising Mid-Term Outcomes after Humeral Head Preserving Surgery of Posterior Fracture Dislocations of the Proximal Humerus.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome after humeral head preserving surgical treatment of posterior fracture dislocations of the proximal humerus.
methodsPatients with a posterior fracture dislocation of the proximal humerus that were operatively treated in two level-1 trauma centers within a timeframe of 8 years were identified. With a minimum follow-up of 2 years, patients with humeral head preserving surgical treatment were invited for examination.
results19/24 fractures (79.2%; mean age 43 years) were examined with a mean follow-up of 4.1 ± 2.1 years. Of these, 12 fractures were categorized as posteriorly dislocated impression type fractures, and 7 fractures as posteriorly dislocated surgical neck fractures. Most impression type fractures were treated by open reduction, allo- or autograft impaction and screw fixation (
conclusionsThis mid-term follow-up study reports good to very good clinical results for humeral head preserving treatment.
