The influence of different footprint preparation techniques on tissue regeneration in rotator cuff repair in an animal model.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
introductionRotator cuff tears are common diseases of the upper extremity. There are no recommendations to the surgeon on how to prepare the footprint to ensure optimal tendon-to-bone healing. However, biologic augmentation using stem cells and growth factors is considered to encourage the healing process of the tendon. The aim of the study was to investigate the biomechanical and histological outcome of different footprint preparations in rotator cuff repair. MATERIAL AND
methodsOne hundred and eighty-nine Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to either spongialization, radiofrequency ablation or an untreated control group. Rats were killed after 1 or 7 weeks for histological evaluation or after 7 weeks for biomechanical testing.
resultsHistological evaluation showed better tissue organization in the control and spongialization group compared to the radiofrequency ablation group. The highest collagen I to collagen III quotient was found in the control group, followed closely by the spongialization group. Measured quotients showed a decrease in the values after 1 week compared to the values after 7 weeks, except in the radiofrequency ablation group, where an increase was detected. A significant difference was found in the load to failure test comparing the radiofrequency ablation group to the spongialization group (
conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that spongialization of the footprint before attaching the torn supraspinatus tendon can lead to better structural properties and higher quality of tendon-to-bone restoration at the insertion area when compared with radiofrequency ablation.
