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

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty is being increasingly performed, with indications in both elective and trauma settings. Accordingly, there are an increasing number of revision cases where glenoid bone loss is a concern. There are well recognised surgical techniques for dealing with mild to moderate glenoid wear, including eccentric reaming and impaction grafting. In cases of severe wear or uncontained glenoid defects these may not be suitable, and the surgeon may look to a customised implant to deal with such bone loss. There are several implant manufacturers who currently market and produce patient specific instrumentation and customised glenoid baseplates to achieve the best possible fixation in cases of severe bone loss. This article outlines some examples of custom implants currently available to surgeons, and the process by which they may be procured and used. Implant and surgical considerations, and key aspects of surgical technique are also covered. Literature on outcomes and complications following custom shoulder arthroplasty shows promising results, but at present is limited to relatively small case series with no long-term outcome data.
