Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for failed treatment of proximal humerus fractures.
Article in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes and complications of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) for failed treatment of proximal humerus fractures (FTPHF).
methodsIn this retrospective study, 20 patients (17 female, 3 male; mean age = 71.35 years; age range = 54-81 years) who underwent RTSA for FTPHF between 2012 and 2018 were included. The mean follow-up was 37.85 (range: 24-83) months. Outcome measures included shoulder range of motion, Constant score, ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons) score, visual analog scale (VAS). Intra-or post-operative complications were also recorded.
resultsThe mean anterior flexion and external rotation improved from 37.25°±10.59° and 11.05°±4.79° preoperatively to 105.53° ± 9.33 and 22.37° ± 4.12° postoperatively, respectively (P < 0.01 for both). The mean Constant and ASES scores ameliorated from 21.95 ± 3.57 and 18.15 ± 4.69 preoperatively to 61.7 ± 7.6 and 71.18 ± 4.69 at the final follow-up, respectively (P < 0.01 for both). VAS significantly reduced from 6.83 ± 2.04 preoperatively to 1.79 ± 0.61 at the final follow-up (P < 0.01). None of the patients had major complications or required revision.
conclusionTreatment with the RTSA for the FTPHF seems to be an effective treatment method that can provide satisfactory radiological and functional outcomes with low complication rates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, Therapeutic Study.
