An Arthroscopy-Assisted Mini-Invasive Technique to Create a Chronic Rabbit Model With Massive and Retracted Supraspinatus Rotator Cuff Tears.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Understanding the pathophysiology of rotator cuff tears (RCTs) in animal models is of great importance, as it helps in the development of repair strategies and therapeutic treatments for rotator cuff diseases in humans. This Technical Note describes a comprehensive step-by-step description of an arthroscopic-assisted minimally invasive RCT model in rabbits. This technique is beneficial because the rabbit has rotator cuffs anatomically similar to those of humans, and it has been widely used as a preclinical animal model in the basic science literature. Compared with other small animals (e.g., mice and rats), the advantage of the rabbit model is that it can test the effectiveness and healing process of new surgical repair techniques that require relatively larger anatomical structures. Moreover, it is more cost-effective compared with larger animal models, such as sheep and canines. This arthroscopic-assisted mini-invasive technique to create an RCT model may have a better effect on simulating the degenerative and chronic RCT state in humans than the commonly used open surgery, along with an earlier return to activities, less scarring and tissue adhesion, fewer injuries to the deltoid, and fewer complications.
