Temporary transarticular stabilization with locking compression plate for the treatment of traumatic glenohumeral luxation in 10 dogs.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the surgical technique, and the short to medium clinical outcome of dogs treated with temporary glenohumeral joint (GHJ) stabilization following traumatic luxation. STUDY
designShort case series.
methodsMedical records of dogs presented with GHJ luxation and treated with a temporary transarticular locking compression plate and screws were reviewed. Signalment, clinical signs, direction and duration of the luxation, diagnostic imaging, operative technique, complications and clinical outcome were reviewed. Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs (LOAD) and Canine Orthopedic Index (COI) questionnaires were completed by the owners at 6 months after implant removal.
resultsClinical and radiographic findings were documented for 10 client-owned dogs at a mean follow-up of 42.5 days when implants were removed through a minimally invasive procedure. Two dogs exhibited minor complications identified through radiographs performed at the follow-up appointment consisting of screw loosening or breakage. These did not affect the clinical outcome. Temporary GHJ stabilization resulted in return stability and range of motion for all dogs. At 6 months 9/10 dogs returned to complete function while one died for other causes. In one case, luxation recurred 8 months postoperatively for which the dog underwent glenohumeral joint arthrodesis.
conclusionTemporary transarticular GHJ stabilization is a possible treatment option in cases of traumatic glenohumeral joint luxation. Further studies are required to determine the minimum immobilization time necessary to achieve joint stability, to assess the long-term complication rate and the possible risks associated with this technique in a controlled population.
