A comparison of simple and complex single-row versus transosseous-equivalent double-row repair techniques for full-thickness rotator cuff tears: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in JSES international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundRotator cuff injuries have traditionally been managed by either single-row or double-row arthroscopic repair techniques. Complex single-row techniques have recently been proposed as a biomechanically stronger alternative treatment option. However, no rigorous meta-analysis has evaluated the effectiveness of complex single-row against double-row repair. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with full-thickness rotator cuff injuries treated with both simple and complex single-row, as well as transosseous-equivalent (TOE) double-row procedures.
methodsAn up-to-date literature search was performed using the predefined search strategy. All studies that met the inclusion criteria were assessed for methodological quality and included in the meta-analysis. Pain, functional scores, range of motion, and retear rate were all considered in the study.
conclusionThe results of our meta-analysis suggest that there is no significant difference between complex single-row and TOE double-row procedures in any of the observed outcomes. At this point in time, the available comparative data between simple single-row and TOE double-row repair techniques are limited. Further high-quality studies are required to assess the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of these different techniques.
