Superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions of the long bicep insertion on the glenoid: management in athletes.
Review in International orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionSLAP injuries are common in athletes but there is no consensus on different aspects such as pathophysiology and treatment options. Currently, the main controversy in the treatment of SLAP II injuries is deciding whether to make a repair or tenodesis. Clinical outcomes have varied according to the patients' age, sports, or work activity. This review aims to present the evidence at points of contention regarding pathophysiology, treatment options, outcomes, return to activities, and complications of type II SLAP. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe relevant literature on SLAP injuries and their treatment options and results were identified from PubMed and a narrative review was performed.
resultsRepairing SLAP II injuries seems to show better outcomes in younger patients and athletes who perform overhead movements, while tenodesis (in its various technical options) yields better outcomes in older patients, both as a single injury or associated with other pathologies such as rotator cuff injury or tenosynovitis. On the other hand, there currently seems to be a trend of increasing the indication of tenodesis even in underage patients and athletes, given that there are reports of fewer re-operations and a faster recovery.
conclusionThe evidence is unclear as to which factors influence the failure to achieve optimal outcomes even in cases with anatomical repairs. Studies with a high level of evidence including different variables are necessary to define when to repair, perform tenodesis, and what surgical technique to use for both options.
