Luxatio erecta of the humerus: the spectrum of injury of inferior shoulder dislocation and analysis of injury mechanisms.
Review in JSES reviews, reports, and techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Erecta dislocation/inferior dislocation of the shoulder is considered an uncommon injury and the present knowledge stems from case reports or compilation of cases. We believe that there are reasons to believe that the injury is much more prevalent than previously stated. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of injury and based on the number of patients with unusual injury patterns at our hospitals and in the literature, the anatomical features of different variants of inferior dislocation are described. Only a few patients present with their arm still locked in abduction, and most patients with initial inferior dislocation are diagnosed with other types of dislocation or injury. Irreducible dislocation, with tissue blocking the glenoid appears to be a consequence typical of an initial inferior dislocation. Nerve and vascular injuries are overrepresented, as are humeral avulsion glenohumeral ligaments-injuries. The description of shoulder dislocations should ideally include the dislocation path and not only the final position of the humeral head.
