Impact of external beam radiation on total shoulder arthroplasty outcomes: a propensity-matched cohort study.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundExternal beam radiation therapy has a number of deleterious effects on the body, and a number of post-operative complications have been reported for several surgeries including total knee arthroplasty. However, few studies have investigated the impact of external beam radiation therapy for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Our study aimed to assess the systemic and joint complications associated with TSA in patients with prior radiation exposures, as well as evaluate the surgical outcomes of radiation patients compared to non-radiation TSA patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the TriNetX Analytics Network. A 1:1 propensity score matching function was utilized to create two cohorts with matched baseline characteristics within the TriNetX network. Comparisons of the primary and secondary outcomes between the two cohorts were made using odds ratios. A p value of < 0.05 was determined to be significant.
resultsA total of 75,510 patients that received TSA were identified with 1505 having a history of radiation therapy (RT) and 73,605 with no radiation therapy (non-RT). After propensity matching, both groups contained 1484 patients. RT patients were at higher risk for developing prosthetic joint infection, acute renal failure, altered mental state, cerebrovascular event, DVT, PE, pneumonia, respiratory failure, and UTI compared to non-RT patients at different time points (p < 0.5).
conclusionPatients with prior history of external beam radiation undergoing TSA had a higher risk of systemic complications and prosthetic joint infection compared to patients without a prior history. These complications suggest a more complicated post-operative management course for these patients.
