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

Objective: To explore the risk factors of shoulder stiffness after traumatic proximal humeral fracture in patients with osteoporosis, and to develop targeted prevention strategies to provide a basis for clinical optimization of perioperative management. Method: A retrospective analysis of 236 patients with osteoporosis and proximal humeral fractures treated from January to December 2024 was performed. According to whether shoulder stiffness occurred at 6 months after surgery, they were divided into stiffness group (119 cases) and non-stiffness group (117 cases). Clinical data such as age, body mass index (BMI), smoking history, and preoperative physical therapy were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze risk factors. Results: The incidence of shoulder stiffness was 50.4%. Univariate analysis showed that the stiffness group was older (52.83 ± 6.65 years vs. 43.31 ± 6.48 years), P24 kg/m Conclusion: Patients with osteoporosis undergoing surgery for proximal humeral fractures may develop shoulder joint stiffness. To optimize perioperative management, a three-tiered prevention strategy centered on smoking cessation, weight management and early physical therapy is recommended, supplemented by personalized comprehensive preventive measures.
