Long-stemmed Hemiarthroplasty with Cerclage Wiring for the Treatment of Split-Head Fractures of the Proximal Humerus with Metaphyseal Extension: A Report of 2 Cases.
Article in Journal of shoulder and elbow arthroplasty, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Complex fractures of the proximal humerus with splitting-head component and metaphyseal propagation are very rare injuries that are difficult to treat. Preservation of the humeral head is always considered except in cases with severe comminution and compromised vascularity where shoulder hemiarthroplasty is an alternative option. Case Report: We present two male patients, 57- and 62-years-old who sustained such a complex proximal humeral fracture after a high-energy injury. They both managed with long-stemmed shoulder hemiarthroplasty and cerclage wiring of the metaphyseal area. They both demonstrated good clinical and radiological outcome at 32- and 24-months postoperatively. Conclusion: We report the functional and radiological outcomes of two cases of a rare proximal humeral fracture's pattern - combination of splitting-head and metaphyseal comminution - that were managed with long-stemmed hemiarthroplasty and cerclage wire and demonstrated good midterm clinical outcome.
