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

Preoperative planning for shoulder arthroplasty has become widely used for primary cases and now also in revision situations. From the initial, two-dimensional manual planning efforts on computed tomography scans, planning has evolved to now using three-dimensional planning software programs. A number of different programs exist with various methods underpinning their chosen landmarks and segmentation methods. Preoperative planning has allowed for development of execution tools to translate the preoperative plan to intraoperative reality. This article considers the particular relevance of preoperative arthroplasty planning to the shoulder joint, the current status of preoperative planning, the reasons to engage with preoperative planning, the execution tools available as an extension of preoperative planning, and the future of intraoperative execution technologies associated with planning. Preoperative planning is the foundation of prospective advances in these so-called enabling technologies and the future of preoperative planning will be shaped by a desire to continue to optimize execution techniques in shoulder arthroplasty, with the ultimate goal of using these techniques to achieve improved patient outcomes.
