Comparing outcomes of the anterosuperior and deltopectoral approaches in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for degenerative glenohumeral arthritis: a systematic review.
Synthesis in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2024. 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
purposeReverse total shoulder replacement (rTSR) improves pain and function in patients with a wide range of shoulder pathology. Anterosuperior (AS) and deltopectoral (DP) approaches are widely used to gain access to the glenohumeral joint in arthroplasty. Our aim was to systematically review the literature comparing outcomes of these two approaches when performing rTSR for degenerative glenohumeral arthritis.
methodsSystematic review was performed with an electronic multi-database search (Pubmed, Medline & Embase) according to PRISMA guidelines on 18th September 2022. Data from published studies of any study design that met the inclusion criteria were extracted, reviewed and synthesized.
resultsA total of 38 studies were identified for full text review, of which four were included. No significant difference in pain and range of motion were observed between approaches. Scapular notching was more common in the anterosuperior approach. Low rates of instability and intra-operative fracture were observed in both.
conclusionBoth approaches demonstrate similar clinical outcomes with reference to pain, range of motion and complications when performing rTSR indicated for degenerative joint disease. However, further well-designed studies are required.
