SLAP Lesion and Injury of the Proximal Portion of Long Head of Biceps Tendon in Elite Amateur Wrestlers.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundInjuries to the proximal portion of the tendon of the long head of the biceps are challenging, and often only diagnosed at arthroscopy. However, it is important to be able to formulate a preoperative plan based on physical examination and imaging studies, so as to inform patients correctly, plan the likely procedure, and give indication to length and modalities of rehabilitation. MATERIALS AND
methodsEleven elite wrestlers who suffered their injury between 2008 and 2018 were investigated retrospectively. We aimed to identify an association between the mechanism and the symptoms of the biceps-labral complex injury.
resultsThe injury was sustained at a mean age of 20.63 years, and most wrestlers were middle or light weight. All injuries occurred during shoulder movements in closed kinetic chain with the elbow extended, the forearm pronated and the shoulder slightly elevated. The surgical procedures performed were tenodesis in three wrestlers, reinsertion in seven wrestlers, and one tenotomy of the tendon of the long head of the biceps. The postoperative rehabilitation was shorter (1-3 month) in case of tenodesis or tenotomy, and markedly longer after reinsertion (6-9 months).
conclusionsInjuries to the proximal part of long head of biceps tendon are relatively frequent in elite wrestlers, reflecting the high functional demands imposed on the upper limb. Though necessitating surgery, in these athletes, such injuries are not career ending, and most of our elite athletes returned to high performance levels after surgery.
