6-Pin Technique Joshi External Stabilization System Fixation for Proximal Humerus Fractures - A Case Series.

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: Proximal humerus fractures account for 4-5% of the fractures in long bones with a bimodal distribution. A wide spectrum of options are available in its management ranging from conservative to total shoulder replacement. We aim to demonstrate a minimally invasive simple 6-pin technique in the management of proximal humerus fracture using Joshi external stabilization system (JESS). Case Report: We report the results of ten patients (M: F = 4:6) with proximal humerus fractures of age range between 19 and 88 years managed with the 6-pin technique JESS under regional anesthesia. Of the included patients, 4, 3, and 3 cases belonged to Neer Type II, III, and IV, respectively. On analysis of outcomes based on the Constant-Murley score, we noted excellent outcomes and good outcomes in 6 (60%), and 4 (40%) patients, respectively, at 12 months. Fixator was removed after the radiological union between 8 and 12 weeks. Complications noted include pin tract infection in 1 (10%) and malunion in 1 (10%) case. Conclusion: JESS fixation by 6-pin technique remains a viable minimally invasive cost-effective treatment option in the management of proximal humerus fractures.
