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: Stemless humeral components are being clinically investigated for reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) procedures. There is, however, a paucity of basic science literature on the surgical parameters that influence the success of these procedures. Therefore, this cadaveric biomechanical study evaluated the neck shaft angle (NSA) of implantation on the survivability and performance of stemless RSA humeral components during cyclical loading. Methods: Twelve paired cadaveric humeri were implanted with stemless RSA humeral components at NSAs of 135° and 145°. Implant-bone motion at the periphery of the implant was measured with 3 optical machine vision USB3 cameras outfitted with c-mount premium lenses and quantified with ProAnalyst software. A custom 3-dimensional loading apparatus was used to cyclically apply 3 loading directions representative of physiological states at 5 progressively increasing loading magnitudes. Stemless 135° and 145° implants were compared based on the maximum implant-bone relative distraction detected, as well as the survivorship of the implants throughout the loading protocol. Results: Primary fixation and implant biomechanical survivorship were substantially better in the 145° NSA implants. The 135° NSA implants elicited significantly higher implant-bone distractions during cyclical loading ( Conclusion: NSA is a modifiable parameter that influences time-zero implant stability, as well as the early survivorship of the stemless RSA humeral components tested in this study. NSA resections of 145° appear to promote better stability than those utilizing 135° NSAs during early postoperative eccentric loads. Further studies are required to assess if other stemless reversed humeral implant designs have improved time-zero fixation at higher NSAs.
