Glenoid baseplate position in reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Review in JSES reviews, reports, and techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: With the growing popularity of reverse shoulder arthroplasty and rapid advancements, attention has returned to the role of baseplate positioning on outcomes and complications. The purpose of this review is thus to revisit the current state of literature as it relates to glenoid baseplate positioning from both the clinical and biomechanical perspective. Methods: An extensive literature search was conducted to review relevant biomechanical and clinical studies investigating outcomes of variations in baseplate positioning and inclination and discuss how these parameters may be changing with modern implant designs. Results: Glenoid baseplate positioning continues to evolve as we have yet to establish a clear consensus on the gold standard of placement. Inferior placement of the glenoid may not be necessary based on the growing popularity of lateralized glenoid design. Inferior glenoid tilt is biomechanically stronger; however, the use of a lateralized glenoid may negate the negative effects previously seen with superior glenoid tilt. Conclusion: There remains little knowledge regarding the optimal glenoid version. Given the rapid design developments of the reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the importance of glenoid baseplate positioning on functional outcomes may need to be revisited.
