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

Background: This study aims to compare the short-term outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) in patients with proximal humerus fractures stratified by age into young and elderly cohorts. Methods: This retrospective review analyzed patients with a minimum 1-year follow-up who underwent RTSA for proximal humerus fractures, categorizing patients <70 years as young and ≥70 as elderly. The operative and postoperative courses were recorded, including discharge location, range of motion (ROM), and need for revision surgery. Patient-reported outcomes such as Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) and Preoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores were collected. A Results: The study consisted of 52 patients (<70 years, n = 22; ≥70 years, n = 30). The <70 group had a higher ROM in forward flexion (141° ± 26° vs. 123° ± 35°; Conclusion: There was no difference in short-term postoperative PROMIS - upper extremity, PROMIS - Physical Function, SANE, ROM in external rotation or abduction, pain, and revision rates between patients <70 and ≥70 undergoing RTSA. However, the <70 RTSA group had higher short-term ROM in forward flexion.
