Dynamic Biceps Rerouting for Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tear.
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 6 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
Irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear (IPSRCT) is a common clinical condition. Many methods of transfer of the long head of the biceps (LHB) have been developed to augment the shoulder superiorly, with the best method using the LHB still being pursued. In this article, we introduce a special method using the LHB to address IPSRCT: arthroscopic dynamic LHB rerouting. The main steps of this technique include opening the native bicipital groove, creating a new bicipital groove through the greater tuberosity, rerouting the LHB into the new bicipital groove without LHB fixation, and side-to-side rotator cuff repair over the LHB. Our clinical experience indicates this technique can be easily and safely performed according to certain guidelines. We think the introduction of this technique will bring special insight to superior shoulder augmentation in case of IPSRCT.
