Nonoperative treatment of proximal humerus fractures in the elderly.
Review in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 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
Proximal humerus fractures are common and occur in approximately 70% of the cases beyond the age of 60 with a peak incidence over the age of 80. A number of randomized studies and meta-analyses have so far failed to demonstrate the superiority of surgery over nonoperative treatment in the elderly. In addition, according to the latest systematic Cochrane Review, evidence still reveals that surgery might be associated with higher complication, and revision surgery rates. However, it remains unclear how exactly this evidence out of "controlled" trial conditions can be incorporated into a decision aid suitable for everyday clinical practice. The following review article aims to present a possible treatment algorithm that takes current best evidence into account, and provides guidance on how this steadily increasing type of injury might be successfully treated nonoperatively in the elderly in daily clinical practice.
