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

backgroundPosterior shoulder dislocation accompanied by reverse Hill-Sachs lesions is relatively rare, whereas bilateral posterior shoulder dislocation is exceedingly rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We report two cases of bilateral posterior shoulder dislocations associated with reverse Hill-Sachs lesions. In Case 1, the lesions were managed using the McLaughlin procedure and the modified McLaughlin procedure. In Case 2, open reduction and internal fixation of the left shoulder was unsuccessful; consequently, reconstruction of the right humeral head was performed using bone cement.

conclusionsBilateral posterior shoulder dislocations with reverse Hill-Sachs lesions are uncommon and are therefore prone to misdiagnosis. Early recognition and appropriately selected treatment strategies, tailored to the severity of the injury, are essential to achieve satisfactory functional outcomes. For severely comminuted proximal humeral fractures, when internal fixation is not feasible and no joint replacement prostheses are unavailable, bone cement reconstruction may serve as a reasonable alternative.
