Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Biceps Autograft: Snake Technique.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Many options have been developed to treat irreparable massive cuff tears. Superior capsular reconstruction has been reported as one of the treatment options for relatively young patients with irreparable massive cuff tear. However, this original technique has a disadvantage of requiring a tensor facia lata autograft. It requires another incision at the lateral thigh and can be a cause of thigh pain. This article describes our modified technique for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction using the biceps autograft to preserve the long head of the biceps tendon anchors to the glenoid labrum (the snake technique).
