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
introductionInflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease, is a chronic condition that affects the gastrointestinal tract and is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. With shoulder arthroplasty becoming more common, especially among aging populations, this study investigates the outcomes and complications of shoulder arthroplasty in patients with IBD.
methodsA retrospective cohort study using the PearlDiver database analyzed national insurance claims data from patients aged older than 18 years who underwent primary shoulder arthroplasty between 2010 and 2020. Patients with IBD were matched with control subjects by age, sex, and comorbidities. Primary outcomes included rates of revision arthroplasty and rotator cuff repair (RCR) between 2010 and 2020, while secondary outcomes included 90-day postoperative complications, such as infections, emergency department visits, and medical complications including deep vein thrombosis, pneumonia, and IBD-associated sepsis. Statistical significance was assessed using chi-square and multivariate analysis.
resultsOf the 8114 patients, 93.9% were older than 50 and 62.7% were female. Patients with IBD had markedly higher rates of 90-day complications, including infections (OR 4.93), ED visits (OR 4.89), pneumonia (OR 6.42), and IBD-associated sepsis (OR 16.9), among others. In addition, patients with IBD were more likely to require rotator cuff repair (OR 1.38) and undergo revision procedures (OR 1.33) compared with control subjects (P-values all < 0.01).
conclusionPatients with IBD undergoing shoulder arthroplasty face a higher risk of postoperative complications and revision surgeries. These findings highlight the importance of careful preoperative evaluation and tailored postoperative care for this patient group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
