Patch Augmentation in Rotator Cuff Repair.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 55 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purpose of the reviewRotator cuff repair has excellent outcomes for many patients but continues to be suboptimal for large, retracted tears, and revision procedures. In these situations, patch augmentation may be considered in order to improve healing. The purpose of this article is to review the history, graft options, indications, surgical technique, outcomes, and complications associated with arthroscopic patch augmentation for rotator cuff repair. RECENT
findingsPatch augmentation has been shown in several studies to improve healing rates. After multiple investigations into different materials available for patch augmentation, acellular dermal allograft seems to be the graft with the best scientific support. While multiple techniques have been presented, few studies have compared their performance. While the arthroscopic technique for patch augmentation can be challenging, we present a systematic approach to this procedure with the potential to reliably and predictably perform patch augmentation. This technique is a valuable tool for surgeons that treat rotator cuff pathology.
