Local Autologous Stem Cells Application in Rotator Cuff Repairs: "LASCA" Technique.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Rotator cuff tears are among the most common orthopaedic conditions, with a very high social impact. A major concern is failure rates. To reduce these rates, recent years have seen increased attention to the biological augmentation of rotator cuff tears repairs, with a special focus on the application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Among the many tissues recognized as a source of MSCs, subacromial bursa recently has emerged. Another promising cell source was found to be the long head of the biceps tendon. Both those local MSC sources, unfortunately, are commonly considered discharge material. The purpose of this paper is to describe a simple yet fast arthroscopic technique of biological augmentation for rotator cuff repairs by mechanical harvesting and deployment of local MSCs sources, called LASCA (local autologous stem cells application), a feasible technique accessible to every shoulder surgeon and adaptable to many different techniques.
