Absence of scapular notching in lateralized reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a mid-term clinical and radiological evaluation.
Article in JSES international, 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
Background: Lateralized reverse shoulder arthroplasty (LRSA) has been conceived to improve clinical and functional outcomes and reduce complication rates and scapular notching in comparison with medialized implant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes, the survival rate, and the health-related quality of life in a prospective series of patients who underwent LRSA and to identify the possible predictors of clinical outcomes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on prospectively collected data of 29 patients who underwent LRSA. Thirteen (45%) patients suffered from primary osteoarthritis (OA), 12 (41%) patients suffered from cuff tear arthropathy, and 4 (14%) patients suffered from secondary OA due to fracture sequelae. Each patient was evaluated preoperatively and at follow-up by radiological and computed tomography and by assessing the range of motion, the Constant-Murley Score, and the short form 12. Results: After a mean follow-up of 52.3 ± 17.4 (range, 24-101) months, a statistically significant recovery of the forward flexion, abduction, and external rotation range of motion as well as the Constant-Murley Score and short form 12 physical component values was reported. Higher postoperative functional outcomes were noted in patients suffering from primary OA in comparison with patients suffering from cuff tear arthropathy or secondary OA. No cases of scapular notching (0%) and just one case (3.4%) of grade 1 heterotopic ossification were observed. Conclusions: Satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes of LRSA can be expected after a mean 52.3-month follow-up, with no cases of scapular notching and exceptionally low rates of radiological complications.
