Global Disease Burden of Traumatic Joint Dislocation from 1990 to 2021 and its prediction to 2045.
Article in Communications medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundTraumatic joint dislocations of the hip, knee, and shoulder (DOH, DOK, and DOS) significantly impact global healthcare. This study assesses the global burden of joint dislocations using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, focusing on their association with the socio-demographic index (SDI).
methodsData from the GBD 2021 are analyzed to determine the age-standardized rates (ASR) of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for dislocations. We integrate the SDI with the concentration index, assessing disparities in the burden of these joint dislocations. Frontier analysis is performed to identify potential improvement areas and disparities among countries by development status. The age-period-cohort (APC) model projects the disease burden to 2045, with a focus on age and gender distributions and primary causes.
resultsFrom 1990 to 2021, the incidence, prevalence, and YLDs of DOH/DOK/DOS all increase, while ASRs decline, suggesting a deceleration in growth. YLDs of DOH, DOK, and DOS rise by 57.21%, 28.38%, and 15.48%, respectively. Men exhibit a higher burden, yet women show a steeper rise. Significant geographical variation exists, with lower SDI countries facing higher burdens. Falls and road injuries remain the main contributors to the burden, and lower-development countries demonstrate potential for reduction. Temporal trends vary by age, sex, and SDI, with projections indicating continued disparities to 2045.
conclusionsTraumatic joint dislocations show marked heterogeneity in age, sex, and SDI, with the most significant differences in low-income regions. Research should prioritize policy development and targeted prevention and treatment strategies for groups at high-risk for joint dislocation to effectively mitigate the disease burden.
