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

End-stage osteoarthritis (OA) alters bone density in the humeral head, complicating implant fixation during stemless shoulder arthroplasty. Current preoperative assessments fail to consider the mechanical properties of bone directly supporting the humeral component. While in-scan phantom calibration is used to determine volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), phantoms are rarely used clinically. An internal density calibration method has been developed, but not yet applied in the proximal humerus. This study examined correlations between phantom and internal density calibration, and between vBMD and estimated stiffness in the proximal humerus. Nonpathologic cadaveric CT images containing a K
