Partial Infraspinatus Tendon Transection as a Means for the Development of a Translational Ovine Chronic Rotator Cuff Disease Model.
Article in Veterinary and comparative orthopaedics and traumatology : V.C.O.T, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveRotator cuff tendon tears are the most common soft tissue injuries in the shoulder joint. Various animal models have been described for this condition, but all current translational animal models have inherent weaknesses in their ability to generate chronically degenerated rotator cuff tendons. The objective of this study was to evaluate a partial infraspinatus tendon transection model as a means of creating a chronically degenerated rotator cuff tendon in an ovine model and compare the injury characteristics of this model to those observed in human patients with severe chronic rotator cuff tendon injuries. STUDY
designThe infraspinatus tendons of six sheep were partially detached followed by capping of the detached medial section of the tendon with Gore-Tex. Human tissue samples of the supraspinatus tendon were harvested from patients undergoing primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty and served as positive controls of chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy.
resultsTransected sheep tendons were characterized predominantly by an acute reactive and reparative pathological process as compared with the chronic degenerative changes observed in the human tendons. In contrast, the non-transected portion of the ovine tendon showed histological changes, which were more chronic and degenerative in nature when compared with the transected tendon.
conclusionOverall, histological features of the non-transected portion of ovine tendon were more similar to those observed in the chronic degenerated human tendon.
