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

Luxatio erecta is a rare form of glenohumeral dislocation in which the humeral head is displaced inferior to the glenoid, accounting for fewer than 0.5% of all shoulder dislocations; thus, bilateral involvement is exceedingly rare. We present a rare case of bilateral luxatio erecta in a 59-year-old male complicated by progressive ulnar neuropathy and rotator cuff deficiency, successfully managed with staged surgical intervention in the form of left-sided rotator cuff repair and right-sided reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, demonstrating good functional outcomes at over 2-year follow-up. This case adds to the limited literature related to bilateral luxatio erecta and suggests that early identification and staged management of any associated pathology may help optimize long-term functional recovery.
