Arthroscopic Bursa-Augmented Rotator Cuff Repair: A Vasculature-preserving Technique for Subacromial Bursal Harvest and Tendon Augmentation.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 repairs are associated with suboptimal outcomes and possibly greater incidence of retears if the biological healing environment is compromised. Strategies to optimize tendon-bone healing include the use of bioinductive scaffolds and regenerative stem cell therapy. The subacromial bursa has been shown to have significant pluripotent stem cell potency for tendon healing and has the advantage of easy accessibility and no added cost. However, a reproducible surgical technique for bursal mobilization, harvest, and vascularity preservation has not been described. We describe our technique for vasculature-preserving bursal mobilization and harvest of the entire posterosuperior and lateral subacromial bursa, and its use in rotator cuff repair augmentation is presented. The technique involves mobilization of the bursa as a continuous layer by maintain its medial and lateral vascularity. The bursa is advanced laterally, and the "vascular bursal duvet" and cuff tendons are repaired together as a tendon-bursa unit.
