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
backgroundin locked dislocation of the shoulder, instead of reducing back to the glenoid, the humeral head remains incarcerated on the glenoid in a locked fashion. This clinical situation is fairly uncommon. It is essential to conduct an individual evaluation of each patient to determine the appropriate treatment.
objectivethe aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) in the treatment of locked shoulder dislocation.
methodspatients with locked shoulder dislocation who underwent reverse shoulder prosthesis surgery and were admitted to our center between 2007 and 2023 were reviewed. The primary outcome was the Constant score. Secondary outcomes included the adjusted Constant, UCLA and DASH scores. Additionally, any signs of radiologic loosening were also documented.
resultsthe series consisted of 10 patients, six men and four women, with a mean age of 68.0 years. The average time from the traumatic injury to surgery was 7.5 months. All patients showed improved Constant, Adapted Constant, UCLA, and DASH scores compared to their preoperative values. When comparing the outcomes of chronic posterior and anterior dislocations, no differences in functional outcomes or shoulder motion were observed after rTSA implantation. There were no complications during or after surgery.
conclusionThe results of the present study have shown that patients with locked shoulder dislocation can achieve reliable short-term functional results when treated with rTSA. This proceduredecreases pain, improves functionality and enhances patient satisfaction. LEVEL EVIDENCE: IV.
