Augmented Repair of Large to Massive Delaminated Rotator Cuff Tears With Autologous Long Head of the Biceps Tendon Graft: The Arthroscopic "Cuff-Plus" 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 11 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
An anatomic and tension-free repair is the goal of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. However, this purpose is not always achievable in large and massive tears, and sometimes, even when intraoperative results seem acceptable, clinical and radiologic outcomes can be disappointing shortly afterward. Superior capsule reconstruction has been claimed as a valid and viable joint-preserving option for treating irreparable rotator cuff tears. However, the role of the superior capsule in repairable cuff tears has also been questioned. The aim of this article is to present the so-called arthroscopic cuff-plus technique. This technique consists of superior capsule reconstruction using the proximal part of the long head of the biceps tendon associated with a tension-free repair of the rotator cuff tendons in large to massive delaminated tears.
