Arthroscopic Subcoracoid Decompression, Coracoplasty, and Subscapularis Repair for Subscapularis Tears in the Setting of Subcoracoid Impingement.
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 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
Subscapularis tears have been found to occur in the setting of subcoracoid impingement and are related to the narrowing of the coracohumeral interval. The advancement of arthroscopic techniques has allowed for improved identification and treatment of this historically overlooked pathology. Challenges of arthroscopic subscapularis treatment include nearby neurovascular structures, tendon retraction, and adhesions, which are further complicated by diminished arthroscopic visualization, resulting from the concomitant subcoracoid impingement. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique for arthroscopic management of subscapularis tears in the setting of subcoracoid impingement that is simple and reproducible, as well as cost-effective and efficient with limited additional morbidity to that of a standard diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy.
