Uncemented vs. cemented reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with latissimus dorsi and teres major transfer.
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: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) combined with latissimus dorsi and teres major (LD/TM) transfer is an effective treatment for massive rotator cuff tears associated with deficits in elevation and external rotation. The humeral components of rTSA can be implanted using either a cemented or uncemented technique; however, the impact of the fixation method on postoperative clinical outcomes remains unclear. The primary aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of cemented or uncemented fixation of the humeral component in rTSA with LD/TM transfer with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. We hypothesized the fixation methods would influence the postoperative radiological findings but not the postoperative clinical outcomes. Methods: A total of 32 shoulders with rotator cuff tear and deficits in elevation and external rotation underwent rTSA with LD/TM transfer with either cemented (C group) or uncemented (unC group) humeral component. Postoperative clinical outcomes were evaluated based on the range of motion, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and the Constant-Murley score. Clinical and radiological outcomes were compared between the groups, and their progression over time was analyzed. Results: Both groups demonstrated significant postoperative improvements in range of motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and Constant-Murley score, with no significant differences between the groups. However, bone resorption at the tendon insertion site was more prominent in the unC group than in the C group. Clinical outcomes stabilized after 6 months, and radiological findings showed no further changes beyond 12 months. No periprosthetic fractures were observed. Conclusion: In patients treated with rTSA with LD/TM transfer, severe bone resorption at the tendon insertion site was more frequently observed in the patients treated with uncemented humeral implants than those with cemented ones.
