The clinical results of lower trapezius tendon transfer with the peroneus longus allograft augmentation combined with interpositional repair with fascia lata in massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesTo investigate the clinical results of lower trapezius (LT) tendon transfer and interpositional repair that were performed simultaneously in patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.
methodsBetween 2018 and 2020 years, 16 patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears that were treated with LT tendon transfer and interpositional repair at the same time were included in this study. The mean follow-up period was 29±3 months (24-39 months) and the mean age of patients was 62±9 years (42-73 years). The acromio-humeral distance, active range of motions, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) scores and Constant-Murley scores were made preoperatively and at the final follow-up.
resultsAt the final follow-up, forward flexion was increased from 109˚±24.7 to 144˚±22.21 (
conclusionAdding interpositional repair to the LT tendon transfer in patients with posterior superior irreparable rotator cuff tear seems to have satisfactory short to mid-term clinical outcomes without an increase in complications.
