Do shoulder kinematics change after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty?
Article in JSES international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

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
Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is believed to alter shoulder kinematics. However, it remains unclear whether the kinematic changes observed in shoulders following rTSA were present preoperatively or developed as a result of the surgery. Furthermore, the impact of preoperative scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) on the postoperative SHR after rTSA is also poorly understood. The primary aim of this study was to compare shoulder kinematics before and after rTSA using the 3-dimensional (3D) to 2-dimensional model-image registration with dynamic digital radiography images. The secondary purpose was to evaluate whether preoperative SHR correlates with postoperative SHR after rTSA. Methods: Twenty shoulders in 19 patients that underwent rTSA were included. Dynamic digital radiography images were performed preoperatively and 6 months or later postoperatively to assess shoulder motion during scapular plane abduction. 3D surface models of preoperative scapula and humerus, and postoperative scapula and humerus with implants were created from the preoperative and postoperative computed tomography images. Scapular and humeral kinematics were evaluated using a 3D to 2-dimensional model image registration method. Each kinematics parameter was calculated at 10° increments from 20° to 90° of humeral abduction. The mean SHR was also calculated from the humeral position at side to 90° or to the maximum humeral abduction if it was less than 90°. Linear mixed-effects models for repeated measures were used to compare kinematics at each humeral abduction between preoperative and postoperative conditions. The correlation between the preoperative mean SHR and the postoperative mean SHR was assessed using Pearson's product-moment correlation statistic. Results: A significant postoperative increase in scapular posterior tilt was observed ( Conclusion: rTSA significantly increases scapular posterior tilt postoperatively compared to the preoperative condition. However, significant changes from the preoperative to postoperative conditions were not demonstrated for other kinematic parameters.
