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

Introduction: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is increasingly performed, with a corresponding rise in associated complications such as periprosthetic fractures. Although implant failure and loosening are well documented, deformation of a humeral stem without loosening has not been previously reported. Case Report: A 77-year-old woman, 9 years after an RTSA, presented with left shoulder pain after a fall. Initial radiographs revealed a transverse periprosthetic proximal diaphyseal fracture and a deformed humeral component. She was treated nonoperatively with range-of-motion exercises and pain management. One year later, radiographs confirmed fracture healing, and the patient had no pain and had regained full motion. Conclusion: This is the first reported case of deformation of a humeral stem in a shoulder arthroplasty. Nonoperative management was successful for fracture healing.
