Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Using 18-Gauge Spinal Needle as a Suture Passer to Eliminate Iatrogenic Tendon Damage from Modern Suturing Devices.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Suture passing devices are frequently used for subscapularis tendon repair. However, some of these devices can further damage the tendon by creating a larger tear. Use of an 18-gauge spinal needle as a suture passer helps eliminate damage to the tendon. By using its smaller diameter, the needle prevents tendon cut-through and enhances the precision of the repair.
