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

backgroundThe use of stemless humeral implants for shoulder arthroplasty is becoming increasingly widespread. However, little is known about the difference in clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes of stemless shoulder arthroplasty between men and women. Men and women do have reported differences in size, strength, and bone quality. As such, the purpose of this study was to evaluate sex-related differences in outcomes when using stemless humeral implants.

methodsA retrospective review of 227 patients (men = 143 and women = 84) undergoing stemless shoulder arthroplasty was compared for sex-related differences. Clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes were compared, including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores, visual analog scale pain scores, range of motion, radiolucencies, operative data, implant data, and complications. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-square tests, and logistic regression.

resultsPreoperatively, men had a statistically significant greater range of motion of forward elevation (

conclusionPatient sex is not predictive of postoperative functional outcomes after stemless shoulder arthroplasty. The operative time was significantly shorter in female patients, and there was no significant difference in surgical complications between men and women.
