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

Locked posterior shoulder dislocations are dislocations that remain unreduced for more than three weeks. In most cases, they are associated with other injuries. We report the case of a 38-year-old male who presented with pain and total functional impotence due to a complex injury, including posterior glenohumeral dislocation, a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion, and a clavicle fracture. Because of the unsuccessful attempts at closed reduction, the patient underwent surgery. We performed the McLaughlin technique, which included the transfer of the subscapularis tendon to the reverse Hill-Sachs lesion, stabilized by bone anchors. At the last follow-up, the patient was doing well and had regained full range of motion with no recurrent dislocation. Clinicians should maintain clinical and radiological suspicion about this injury to timely manage this rare and dangerous injury.
