A Validated Three-Dimensional, Heterogenous Finite Element Model of the Rotator Cuff and The Effects of Collagen Orientation.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Continuum mechanics-based finite element models of the shoulder aim to quantify the mechanical environment of the joint to aid in clinical decision-making for rotator cuff injury and disease. These models allow for the evaluation of the internal loading of the shoulder, which cannot be measured in-vivo. This study uses human cadaveric rotator cuff samples with surface tendon strain estimates, to validate a heterogeneous finite element model of the supraspinatus-infraspinatus complex during various load configurations. The computational model was considered validated when the absolute difference in average maximum principal strain for the articular and bursal sides for each load condition estimated by the model was no greater than 3% compared to that measured in the biomechanical study. The model can predict the strains for varying infraspinatus loads allowing for the study of load sharing between these two tightly coordinated tendons. The future goal is to use the modularity of this validated model to study the initiation and propagation of rotator cuff tear and other rotator cuff pathologies to ultimately improve care for rotator cuff tear patients.
