Radiological and Functional Outcomes of Joshi External Stabilization System (JESS) in Proximal Humerus Fractures: A Retrospective Review.

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
Introduction: There has been an increased interest in the external and percutaneous fixation of proximal humerus fractures. Numerous advantages of external fixation like less blood loss, ease of application, and rigid fixation provide a promising new avenue for the management of humeral fractures. This retrospective case series aims to assess the radiological and functional outcome of proximal humerus fractures treated with the Joshi External Stabilization system (JESS). Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of records was performed using hospital records from January 2020 to January 2024. The records of patients more than 18 years of age with proximal humerus fractures who were operated with the JESS fixator were reviewed and a proforma based on each follow-up was filled by the investigators. Results: A total of 28 patients met the inclusion criteria with an average age of 65.17 ± 13.1 years. Neers type 3 injuries were most common (38.3%, Conclusion: The JESS is an acceptable treatment option for orthopaedic surgeons for the fixation of proximal humeral fractures, especially in geriatric patients. Like other external fixation devices, pin tract infection and pin loosening are inherent to the system.
