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

Objective: To conduct a comprehensive analysis of proximal humeral anatomical characteristics in the Chinese population utilizing three-dimensional reconstruction technology, thereby establishing an evidence base for the enhancement of shoulder hemiarthroplasty procedures and the development of domestically manufactured prostheses. Methods: The study cohort comprised 30 patients (60 shoulders) presenting with cervicoscapular pain between July 2023 and June 2025, with equal gender distribution (15 males and 15 females); age distribution ranged from 20 to 75 years (mean, 53.7 years). Data acquisition was performed via high-resolution CT imaging (technical parameters: slice thickness 0.625 mm, voltage 120 kV, current 150 mA, matrix 512×512). Subsequently, CT datasets were processed in DICOM format using Mimics17.0 software for three-dimensional reconstruction, followed by quantitative assessment via Imageware12.0 software to evaluate key proximal humeral parameters: humeral head dimensions (coronal diameter, sagittal diameter, surface curvature diameter, thickness), angular measurements [neck-shaft angle, retroversion angle (retroversion angle 1 was the angle between the humeral head axis and the line connecting the medial and lateral condyles, and retroversion angle 2 was the angle between the humeral head axis and the tangent of the trochlea)], and positional metrics (medial offset, posterior offset). Statistical analysis incorporated Pearson correlation coefficients to determine parameter relationships, with comparative evaluations conducted across demographic variables including gender, height, body mass, and age. Results: Quantitative analysis yielded the following measurements: humeral head coronal diameter (41.8±3.6) mm, sagittal diameter (39.1±4.1) mm, surface curvature diameter (44.9±4.6) mm, thickness (17.2±1.8) mm, neck-shaft angle (128.4±4.2)°, retroversion angle 1 (16.9±8.9)°, retroversion angle 2 (21.4±11.3)°, medial offset (3.8±1.7) mm, and posterior offset (5.1±1.6) mm. Correlation analysis demonstrated the most pronounced positive relationship between humeral head surface curvature diameter and thickness ( Conclusion: The proximal humeral morphology in the Chinese population exhibits substantial variability, necessitating optimization of prosthetic designs based on population-specific anatomical metrics to enhance the efficacy of personalized clinical interventions.
