The impact of alcohol use on the outcomes of shoulder joint replacement in traumatic indications type of study: clinical study - comparison of functional outcomes of shoulder replacement in alcohol use disorder and control groups.

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
purposeAlcohol use disorder (AUD) is a medical condition characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol consumption despite adverse social, occupational, or health consequences. The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes of shoulder joint replacement in traumatic conditions in patients with AUD and compare them with the results of the control group.
methodsWe evaluated the outcomes of hemiarthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty divided into subgroups (AUD and control). The study includes a total of 238 patients with an average follow-up of 8 years. Clinical evaluation included the Constant Shoulder Score (CSS), abduction of the arm and pain. The results were statistically evaluated.
resultsWe found no significant differences between the hemi-control and hemi-abusus groups in either measurement (CSS: p = 0.312, Cohen's d = 0.262; abduction: p = 0.771, Cohen's d = 0.073) or between the reverse-control and reverse-abusus groups in the abduction parameter (p = 0.394, Cohen's d = 0.153). However, a significant difference was observed in the CSS parameter within the reverse group (p = 0.015, Cohen's d = 0.447). Additionally, we identified a higher incidence of postoperative complications in patients with AUD for both implant types (hemi group: χ²(1) = 7.11, p = 0.0077; reverse group: χ²(1) = 11.25, p = 0.00080).
conclusionsIn this prospective study, we demonstrated the negative effect of alcohol use on the outcomes and function of shoulder joint replacements in cases of traumatic indications. The negative impact was observed following both hemiarthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty implantation. In both groups, a higher number of complications were recorded in patients with AUD.
