1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Disorders of the long head of the biceps (LHB) are common conditions that lead to an impediment of shoulder function. Fixation of the LHB is an effective way to alleviate LHB-related symptoms while maintaining its muscular function. However, fixation failure usually occurs after LHB tenodesis with routine 1-position fixation. To reduce the fixation failure rate, we introduce a 2-position LHB fixation technique. This includes locating the extra-articular part of the LHB efficiently, thorough debridement of the anterior subdeltoid space and the region around the LHB, and 2-position fixation with knotless suture anchors at the superior edge of the pectoralis major and at the proximal end of the bicipital groove. Our clinical experience indicates that this procedure can be performed safely and effectively when certain guidelines are followed. We believe that the introduction of this technique will provide a special fixation option for patients with LHB disorders.
