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

Rotator cuff tears are common shoulder injuries expected to increase with the growth of the aging population. Although a small subset of patients with low functional demands can be treated nonoperatively, surgical intervention is a cost-effective solution, which can restore shoulder function and help patients return to activity sooner. While multiple surgical options are available, rotator cuff repair is a highly utilized procedure with varying success. Due to a large proportion of rotator cuff repairs still failing to completely heal, this procedure requires careful planning to achieve anatomical and biomechanically stability. New technology and techniques are being explored to help increase the success of rotator cuff repairs with an increasing focus on augmentation. The current article gives a brief overview of pertinent anatomy, treatment options, and challenges in healing of rotator cuff repairs. Thereafter, the merits of different types of rotator cuff repair augmentation available will be discussed as well as the authors' experience in utilizing biologic augmentation and surgical technique.
