Cementless Allograft-Prosthetic Composite Reconstruction Using an Interlocking Revision Stem for Salvage Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Proximal humerus fractures can present in many ways and have many treatment options. The Neer classification is used to describe fractures to help guide treatment. However, treatment is often surgeon-dependent due to the multitude of variables in the proximal humerus: whether it be the rotator cuff, important arteries supplying blood to the proximal humerus, or varying functional goals between patients. Surgical approaches may include fracture fixation, hemiarthroplasty, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. We present the case of a 55-year-old man who underwent salvage reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with allograft-prosthetic composite reconstruction for a proximal humerus fracture nonunion. The procedure was performed using a long revision stem with interlocking screws. The purpose of this implant is to enable restoration of appropriate length and rotation during reconstruction without the need for cement. The patient was lost to follow-up after his six-week postoperative visit, but demonstrated significant improvement in range of motion and function. However, more research needs to be done as to what the best approach is for proximal humerus reconstruction.
