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

backgroundCementless modular diaphyseal press-fi t stems (MDS) development has provided an alternative to traditional cemented fixation in extensive humeral bone loss, achieving stability and reducing cement-related complications in early follow-up.

objectiveTo evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of revision rTSA using the cementless press-fit MDS. Assess early postoperative survival and the effectiveness of this fixation strategy in complex revision cases.

methodsRetrospective study (January2023-May2024), including 14 shoulders undergoing revision rTSA using MDS and a minimum 24-month follow-up. Functional outcomes were assessed using Constant, ASES, ADLEIR, VAS, and SST scores, and range of movement (ROM). Radiographic assessments determined fixation stability and loosening.

resultsMean follow-up was 30.1 months. Indications for surgery included infection (n=8), periprosthetic fracture (n=5), and failed hemiarthroplasty (n=1). Postoperative ROM improved, with mean forward elevation of 114.6°, abduction of 95.7°, and external rotation of 25.4°. Functional scores also increased (Constant: 36.6→55.9; ASES: 31.4→61; VAS: 7.9→2.8). No implant loosening, instability, or postoperative fractures were recorded. Two acute infections, successfully treated without revision and one asymptomatic non-traumatic humeral stem disengagement.

conclusionCementless modular diaphyseal press-fi t stems demonstrated satisfactory early clinical and radiographic outcomes in complex revision rTSA and may represent a valuable option when proximal metaphyseal fixation cannot be achieved. Further studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up are required to confirm their long-term durability and performance.
