Biceps-incorporating rotator cuff repair with footprint medialization in large-to-massive rotator cuff tears.

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
purposeIn large-to-massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs), incorporating the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) with arthroscopic partial rotator cuff and margin convergence can improve clinical outcomes and preserve the acromio-humeral interval (AHI) during mid-term follow-up. The purpose of this study was to evaluate mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic biceps-incorporating rotator cuff repair with partial release of the LHBT and footprint medialization through the Neviaser portal in MRCTs.
methodsThis study enrolled 107 patients (38 males and 69 females, mean age: 64.9 ± 8.6 years) with MRCTs. A novel arthroscopic biceps-incorporating repair was performed by footprint medialization, with a partially released biceps tendon covering central defects. Clinical outcomes such as pain VAS, KSS, ASES, UCLA, SST and CS scores and ROM were evaluated at a mean follow-up time of 35 months (range 12-132 months). Serial radiographs with a mean postoperative MRI follow-up duration of 33 months were used to evaluate AHI, tendon integrity, fatty infiltration (FI) and muscle hypotrophy.
resultsPostoperative pain VAS, KSS, ASES, UCLA, SST, and CS scores and ROM (except external rotation) were improved significantly. AHI also improved significantly from 8.6 to 9.3 mm. According to Sugaya's classification, type I, II, III, IV, or V healing status was found in 30 (28.0%), 29 (27.1%), 26 (24.3%), 14 (13.1%), and 8 (7.5%) patients, respectively. The retear rate was 22 (20.6%).
conclusionsNovel biceps-incorporating cuff repair with footprint medialization yielded satisfactory outcomes in MRCT patients at the 3-year follow-up. A partially released, repaired biceps tendon provided superior stability with preserved AHI similar to that of anterior cable reconstruction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
