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
purposeStemless anatomical shoulder arthroplasty offers numerous potential advantages over stemmed systems. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological 2-year results of a novel metaphyseal anchored stemless shoulder system (Global Icon™ Stemless Shoulder System, DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN, USA).
methodsThirty patients with primary osteoarthritis, 14 males and 6 females, were prospectively included in the study. Two-year follow-up data were analyzed for 20 patients. The average age and BMI were 63.4 years and 27.6 kg/m2. The adjusted Constant-Murley Score (aCS), Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), and EQ-5D-5L were used as primary endpoints to reflect postoperative clinical improvement. Postoperative radiographs in two planes were analyzed for implant loosening and migration.
resultsThere was an overall clinical improvement 2 years postoperatively. The aCS increased from 58.3 ± 17.7 to 113.7 ± 15.6 points (p < 0.0001). The OSS score improved from 25.5 ± 6.1 to 43.9 ± 6.1 points (p < 0.0001). The EQ-5D-5L value score increased on average from 0.7 ± 0.2 to 0.9 ± 0.1 (p = 0.0004). There was no implant loosening or migration. No revisions were required.
conclusionIn summary, the examined prosthesis system achieved very good clinical and radiographic results 2 years postoperatively without implant failure. Shoulder function and quality of life improved significantly. These results are encouraging for prostheses with bone-preserving designs which rely on peripheral humeral fixation, though more long-term results are needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV; Case Series; Treatment Study.
