The Arthroscopic "Bellows" Sign Identifies Hidden 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
The intraoperative recognition of rotator cuff tears continues to be a challenge in some cases, despite clinical suspicion, a physical examination suggesting a rotator cuff tear, and detection on preoperative imaging studies. Intraoperative identification can be elusive in partial tears including intratendinous tears and obscured full-thickness tears. The purpose of this Technical Note, and the associated technique video, is to discuss a visual sign for the detection of various rotator cuff tear pathologies. Derived from the dynamic fluid expansion and contraction of the affected tissues, this indicator is termed the arthroscopic "bellows" sign.
