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
introductionThe importance of consistent postoperative follow-up has been established for collecting patient-reported outcomes and surveilling for potential complications. Despite this, the prevalence of and risk factors for missed short-term follow-up after elective shoulder arthroplasty remain limited.
methodsA retrospective review of consecutive primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty cases with a minimum of 12-month follow-up performed by a single, fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon was undertaken from January 2015 to December 2021. Demographic patient and surgical data, including age, sex, marital status, self-identified race, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index, prior ipsilateral shoulder surgery and/or contralateral arthroplasty, distance from home to clinic, smoking status, and hospital length of stay, were collected. The follow-up at 1 week, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months and beyond was determined. Patient-related and surgical predictors for missing the 12-month and 24-month follow-up were identified.
resultsThere were 295 cases included (168 aTSA and 127 reverse total shoulder arthroplasty), of whom 199 (67%) were women. Of the total cases, 261 (86%) were eligible for 24-month follow-up. Patients undergoing aTSA, those of younger age, those of male sex, and those who missed their 6-week and 6-month follow-up were significantly more likely to miss the 12-month follow-up visit. Following multivariable analysis, a missed 6-month follow-up (OR 10.10, 95% CI 5.32 to 19.16, P < 0.001) was associated with 12-month visit nonattendance, and increasing age (per year) (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.93 to 0.99, P = 0.011) was associated with improved 12-month follow-up. Not having a surgical complication within 6 months postoperatively, not undergoing ipsilateral revision arthroplasty, and missing the 1-week and 12-month follow-up were significantly associated with missing the 24-month follow-up. After multivariable analysis, missing the 1-week (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.12 to 8.41, P = 0.029) and 12-month (OR 3.84, 95% CI 2.11 to 6.99, P < 0.001) follow-ups was associated with missing the 24-month visit, whereas having a postoperative complication was associated with increased attendance at 24 months (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.99, P = 0.047). DISCUSSION: Strategies for preventing missed short-term follow-up should be focused on ensuring that patients undergoing TSA attend the 6-month and 12-month visit, particularly among younger patients and those with an uneventful postoperative course.
