Management of Proximal Humerus Fracture With Concurrent Axillary Artery Injury Using a Saphenous Vein Graft and Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis: A Case Report.

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
This case report details the management of a 60-year-old male who sustained a complex proximal humerus fracture with an axillary artery injury following a fall. Initial assessment revealed a fractured humeral head and complete occlusion of the axillary artery, which was repaired using a saphenous vein graft. Subsequently, the patient underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) after the limb stabilized. The staged approach, prioritizing urgent vascular repair followed by delayed orthopedic intervention, proved effective. The patient achieved satisfactory functional recovery with an improved range of motion and no pain. This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment of vascular injuries in complex proximal humeral fractures and supports the use of saphenous vein grafting and RTSA as effective management strategies.
