Functional outcomes and complications of classic grammont-style reverse shoulder arthroplasty in patients with os acromiale: a retrospective case-control study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo determine the functional impact and complications associated with os acromiale after the implantation of a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) with medialization of the centre of rotation.
methodsA retrospective case-control study with cross-sectional evaluation was conducted. Between 2004 and 2021, patients who underwent RTSA for cuff arthropathy, GH osteoarthritis or massive irreparable rotator cuff tears with os acromiale (OA) and more thantwo years of follow-up, were identified. A control cohort (2:1) without acromial compromise (NOOA) was also identified. Functional (Constant, ASES, Quick-DASH, VAS, ROM) and radiological assessment (os acromiale type, acromiohumeral distance, acromion tilt) were performed.
resultsRTSA was implanted in 432 cases during the study period, 221 with rotator cuff arthropathy, irreparable tears, or osteoarthritis, of these, 12 had an os acromiale (OA) (5.4%) and were compared to 24 patients without os acromiale (NOOA). Epidemiologic data OA/NOOA were: female 10/20, mean follow-up 47.2 ± 25/56.1 ± 30 months, mean age 73.5 ± 4.7/75.4 ± 4.1 years. Regarding the difference in preoperative and final follow-up functional outcomes (OA/NOOA): Constant 20.2/30.9 (p =.012), ASES 28/54 (p =.017), Quick-DASH - 19.6/-27.2 (p =.220), VAS - 5/-7 (p =.007), difference in pre-surgery/last follow-up ROM: elevation 50º/60º (p =.138), abduction 60º/60º (p =.775). The os acromiale group presented two prosthetic dislocations (16.7%).
conclusionPatients with os acromiale improve their preoperative condition after RTSA implantation; however, although there are no differences in joint balance, this improvement is significantly lower in the Constant and ASES scores, primarily due to a decrease in strength and pain relief experienced by patients with os acromiale.
