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

Background: The aim of this study was to provide up-to-date evidence on the outcomes for hemiarthroplasties (HAs) that were performed using modern third-generation prostheses (post-2004) for isolated Methods: PubMed, Medline, Embase and the Cochrane register were searched from January 1, 2012, to November 15, 2022, conforming to the PRISMA guidelines. The outcome measures were the complication rates, revision rates, surgery-related postoperative mortality, post-operative clinical outcome scores and radiological outcomes. Results: 432 hemiarthroplasties in 432 patients were performed across the 11 eligible studies (two prospective and 9 retrospective). Three studies compared HA versus reverse shoulder replacement (RSR); one study compared HA with locking plate fixation (LPF) and RSR; one study compared HA with LPF. 61.1 % and 19.4 % of hemiarthroplasties were performed using cemented and uncemented techniques respectively, while cementing data was ill-defined in 19.4 % of shoulders. The results for the outcome measures have been derived directly from the included studies and no statistical pooling was performed, due to heterogeneity in the different study designs and outcomes. Descriptive data synthesis from the included studies showed that third generation HAs have higher overall postoperative complication rates, with similar revision and mortality rates when compared to RSR and LPF for three-and four-part PHFs. RSR and LPF showed better statistically significant improvements than HA for the Constant-Murley score, Quick DASH, forward flexion and abduction. Mixed results were observed for the DASH score, ASES score and internal rotation ROM between RSR/LPF versus HA. Conclusion: Low to moderate quality evidence from this review showed that even third-generation HA prostheses provided worse overall outcomes than RSR and LPF for three-and four-part PHFs.
