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

backgroundAseptic loosening is considered to be a rather uncommon complication in proximal humerus endoprosthetic replacement (PHER). However, patients with aseptic loosening often suffer severe bone loss, which poses a great challenge in following revision. Under this situation, a standard stemmed endoprosthesis is unavailable for revision limb salvage. Computer-aided design and 3D-printed personalized implants are an emerging solution for reconstructing complex bone defects. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present a 67-year-old male who underwent PHER after tumor resection and developed aseptic loosening with severe periprosthetic osteolysis around the stem. Computer-aided design and 3D-printed personalized stem-plate composite was used for the precision revision of this patient. During the follow-up, encouraging results were observed, with good endoprosthetic stability and satisfactory limb function.

conclusionComputer-aid design and 3D-printed personalized stem-plate composite used in the present case could help to achieve good endoprosthetic stability and satisfactory limb function. This 3D-printed personalized stem-plate composite seems to be an effective method for the precise revision of PHER in patients with severe periprosthetic osteolysis. In addition, it also provides a novel method for similar revision surgery of other joints or primary endoprosthetic replacement with severe bone defects.
