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

purposeThe aim of the present systematic review is to collect all the available evidence regarding the clinical and radiological results of revision to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) of modular anatomic shoulder prostheses (TSA) using a convertible metal-backed glenoid (MBG).

methodsThis study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Studies investigating revision of TSA to RSA utilizing a convertible MBG and reporting clinical and radiological outcomes were identified.

resultsA total of five studies on the use of convertible modular glenoid component in the setting of TSA revision to RSA were finally included in the present systematic review. A total of 60 procedures were reported. Mean operative times was 65 min. Intraoperative complications included 3 cases of glenoid loosening. Only one case of dislocation was reported as postoperative complication. At mean follow-up of 32.3 months post-revision, no glenoid loosening was reported, VAS score decreased from 7.7 to 1.5, Constant Score increased from 24.8 to 57.6.

conclusionsRevision to RSA after failed TSA using a convertible modular glenoid component was associated with a low rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications, low surgical time and led to good results in term of pain relieve and functional outcomes. Given the complexity and risk associated with revision of anatomic shoulder prosthesis having a convertible glenoid may help to simplify the procedure and improve clinical results.
