Incidence of complications related to shoulder arthroplasties identified on computed tomography.
Article in Emergency radiology, 2023. 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
purposeDetermine incidence of shoulder arthroplasty complications identified on computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective institutional database review of patients with shoulder arthroplasties who underwent CT between 01/2006-11/2021 at a tertiary academic referral center with subspecialized orthopedic shoulder surgeons. CT reports were reviewed for arthroplasty type and complication. Data were stratified and summarized. Associations between complications and arthroplasty types were determined with Chi-squared goodness of fit test.
resultsEight hundred twelve CTs in 797 unique patients were included (438 (53.9%) females and 374 (46.1%) males; mean age 67 ± 11 years). There were 403 total shoulder arthroplasties (TSA), 317 reverse total shoulder arthroplasties (rTSA), and 92 hemiarthroplasties (HA). Complications were present in 527/812 (64.9%) and incidences were: loosening/aseptic osteolysis 36.9%, periprosthetic failure 21.6%, periprosthetic fracture 12.3%, periprosthetic dislocation 6.8%, joint/pseudocapsule effusion 5.9%, prosthetic failure 4.8%, infection 3.8%, and periprosthetic collection 2.1%. Complications per arthroplasty were: 305/403 (75.7%) TSAs, 176/317 (55.5%) rTSAs, and 46/92 (50%) HAs (p < 0.001). Periprosthetic fracture (20.8%), prosthetic dislocation (9.8%), and prosthetic failure (7.9%) were highest in rTSAs (p < 0.001, p < 0.013, p < 0.001, respectively). Loosening/aseptic osteolysis most frequent in TSAs (54.1%) (p < 0.001). Periprosthetic failure most frequent in HA (32.6%) (p < 0.001). Significant associations were identified with joint/pseudocapsule effusion and loosening/aseptic osteolysis (p = 0.04) and prosthetic dislocation (p < .001).
conclusionIn this single tertiary academic referral center cohort, the incidence of shoulder arthroplasty complication identified on CT was 64.9% and the most commonly occurring complication was loosening/aseptic osteolysis (36.9%). TSA had the highest incidence of complication (75.7%).
