Transtendon Repair Under Switching-Scope Technique for Articular Partial-Thickness 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. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are common diseases causing pain and disability. Among the different surgical methods, the transtendon repair technique is recommended due to its biomechanically superiority. However, this technique has a high learning curve and is time-consuming. In this Technical Note, we introduce a safer and more effective modified transtendon repair technique. Our switching-scope technique sets a switching stick into the glenohumeral joint through the posterior portal and is used as a guide for switching the arthroscope between the subacromial and articular spaces. This technique can reduce surgical time and overcome the disadvantage of vision limitation in articular-sided transtendon repair.
