Arthroscopic Biologic Tuberoplasty for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: An Expedited Technique.
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 11 papers.
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
Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears in patients for whom arthroplasty is not an option can be a challenging clinical scenario for shoulder surgeons to manage. To achieve the best patient outcomes, a myriad of options has been presented in the literature, including debridement with biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, various tendon transfer procedures, superior capsular reconstruction, biceps tendon rerouting, bursal acromion resurfacing, balloon spacers, and tuberoplasty. While debridement with biceps tenotomy and superior capsular reconstruction have historically provided improvements in patient-reported outcomes, high rates of arthritis progression and failure of graft healing have been noted with these techniques, respectively. The superior capsular reconstruction has also proven to be technically challenging. The biologic tuberoplasty procedure was developed after several studies noted a lack of correlation between graft healing and improvement in patient-reported outcomes in superior capsular reconstructions, as long as the tuberosity remained covered with the graft. We present a technically efficient and expedited technique using an acellular human dermal allograft.
