Arthroscopic Parachute Technique for Split-type Greater Tuberosity Fractures.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Over the past years, several arthroscopic fixation procedures have been adopted for fractures of the greater tuberosity. Although they offer advantages over open approaches, especially for avulsion-type fixation, split-type fractures are usually treated with open reduction and internal fixation. However, suture constructs can result in a more reliable fixation system for multifragment or osteoporotic split-type fractures. Currently, the use of arthroscopic techniques in these more complex fractures is questionable due to inherent limitations of anatomic reduction and stability concerns. The authors report a technically simple and reproducible arthroscopic procedure based on anatomic, morphologic, and biomechanical concepts, which offers advantages over traditional open approaches or double-row arthroscopic techniques in the treatment of most split-type greater tuberosity fractures.
