A Study on Functional Outcome of Hemiarthroplasty for Proximal Humeral Fractures - An Observational Study.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) represent a significant portion of fragility fractures in the elderly, ranking third after hip and distal radius fractures. While the majority of minimally displaced PHFs can be managed nonoperatively, displaced three- and four-part fractures often require surgical intervention. Hemiarthroplasty (HA) has traditionally been used for complex fracture patterns. With recent advances in prosthetic design and surgical techniques, HA continues to be a valuable option. Case Series: This case series evaluated patients with Proximal humeral fractures, This study aims to assess the functional outcomes of three- or four-part proximal humerus fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty using Constant and UCLA scores. Additionally, it evaluates radiological parameters such as tuberosity position and union, tuberosity resorption, humeral head height, and signs of implant loosening or radiolucency at the bone-cement interface through serial shoulder radiographs. Conclusion: Hemiarthroplasty provides reliable pain relief and functional recovery in elderly patients with complex proximal humerus fractures. It shows low complication rates and high patient satisfaction, though larger studies with long-term follow-up are needed for broader validation.
