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

Background: The movement of the arm relative to the trunk results from 3-dimensional (3D) coordinated movements of the glenohumeral (GH) and scapulothoracic (ST) joints and dictates the scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR). Alterations in SHR increase joint overload and may lead to low functional scores, pain, and failures in patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine 3D SHR kinematics after RSA and compare it to that of asymptomatic shoulders. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of articles in English were performed using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and SciELO. Additional studies were identified by searching bibliographies. Search terms included "Reverse shoulder arthroplasty", "3D", and "scapula". It was selected cross-sectional studies that reported SHR with 3D motion analysis systems in patients who underwent RSA and asymptomatic controls. Two authors independently performed the extraction of articles using predefined data fields, including study quality indicators. Results: Data from four studies were included in quantitative analysis, totaling 48 shoulders with RSA and 63 asymptomatic shoulders. Pooled analyses were based on random-effects model (DerSimonian-Laird). A statistically smaller SHR ratio was observed in the RSA group than that in the control group ( Conclusion: This study found that RSA shoulders have an increased contribution of ST joint during arm elevation, compared with asymptomatic shoulders. More movement in ST joint in proportion to GH joint increases GH joint contact forces, which could lead to component loosening or other complications. Further studies should address the clinical implications of this kinematic finding.
