Superior Capsular Reconstruction using the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon: The Biceps Loop Technique.
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 4 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 rotator cuff tears can be treated in several ways. Superior capsular reconstruction has been reported as an excellent option, particularly for the young and active patients. We propose capsule reconstruction using the long head of the biceps tendon in a modified way. After its tenotomy at the musculotendinous junction, the long head is rerouted through a humeral bone tunnel and attached to a suture anchor in the posterior aspect of the superior glenoid rim. Further investigation is required, but this modified technique appears promising.
