Therapeutic and prognostic predictive value of the Control Volume severity grade on proximal humerus fractures due to bone fragility.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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
Background: The treatment of proximal humerus fracture complicated by bone fragility is still controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the Neer classification and the Control Volume severity grade for the accuracy in the selection of the type of treatment and for prognostic evaluation. Materials and methods: We retrospectively collected the records of all patients admitted at the Emergency Department of our Institute, from 2013 to 2020, for a closed displaced proximal humerus fracture further investigated with a CT scan before treatment decision. We selected all patients with a minimum age of 65 years. The included fractures were retrospectively classified according to Neer, and Control Volume severity grade. The included patients were evaluated with Simple Shoulder Test (SST). A statistical analysis was performed to correlate the type of treatment and the clinical results to the Neer classification and the Control Volume severity grade. Results: Sixty-four patients (80%), were available for the telephonically interview at a mean follow up of 4 years and were included. According to the Control Volume model, we identified fracture with a low, medium and high severity grade, in 23 (36%), 13 (20%), and, 28 (44%) cases, respectively. Fifteen patients (23,5%) were conservatively treated, whether fourty-nine patients (76,5%) were operated. We find a statistical correlation between control volume severity grade and type of treatment. No Therapeutic correlation was detected for the Neer classification. A statistical correlation between the severity grade and clinical outcome could be observed only for patients with the same type of treatment. Conclusions: The use of Control Volume severity grade is associated with better therapeutic and prognostic informations in confront to the Neer classification.
