Deltoid Muscle Tension Alterations Post Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: An Investigation Using Shear Wave Elastography.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionThis study aimed to evaluate the utility of shear wave elastography (SWE) in assessing changes in deltoid muscle properties following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
methodsOur cohort consisted of 18 patients who underwent RSA due to various conditions, including osteoarthritis, cuff arthropathy, and irreducible proximal humeral fractures. Pre- and postoperative muscle elasticity and stiffness were measured using SWE and were compared with functional outcomes and radiological parameters.
resultsOur results showed significant changes in deltoid muscle elasticity after RSA, particularly in the anterior and middle portions. However, these alterations were not correlated with postoperative functional outcomes or specific radiological parameters. The study also underscored the potential of SWE for future applications, including the preoperative assessment of deltoid function, postoperative monitoring, and intraoperative use for optimal component positioning during RSA.
conclusionFurther research, involving larger, more homogeneous patient cohorts is needed to confirm these findings and to explore the potential influence of these changes on the biomechanical design of implants and prosthesis positioning in RSA.
