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

purpose of reviewReverse total shoulder arthroplasty has become an excellent surgical option for patients suffering from various shoulder pathologies including rotator cuff arthropathy, inflammatory arthritis and proximal humerus fractures. The goals of this operation are to reduce pain, restore function, and allow patients to be able to return to both work and sport. This article provides insight into the return to work and sport of patients who have undergone reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. RECENT

findingsRecent literature has demonstrated that patients who have undergone reverse total shoulder arthroplasty demonstrate high rates of return to work and sport. Variations in patient age, sex, work intensity, type of sport and rehabilitation protocols can also play a factor in being able to return to work and sport. Patients who have undergone reverse total shoulder arthroplasty are able to return to work and sport in a timely manner. A structured rehabilitation protocol, appropriate patient selection and excellent communication between surgeon and patient is crucial to achieve a successful return to work and sport.
