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 in patients can lead to a surgical intervention to relieve the pain and improve the function of the shoulder joint. In the majority of cases, the rotator cuff repair is completed arthroscopically and requires the ability for soft-tissue resection and visualization to restore the anatomic structures to their native state. With the advent of a radiofrequency wand, the technical aspects of a biceps tenotomy from the insertion point on the glenoid can be completed, along with the ability to resect, ablate, and coagulate tissue, using a single instrument. Although bone resection is completed with a bone cutting shaver and/or burr, the soft-tissue dissection can be completed in a precise and efficient manner.
