Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction with dermal allograft for primary and recurrent rotator cuff tears.
Article in JSES international, 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
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and retear rate of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with dermal allograft following structural failure of a previous rotator cuff repair, with a cohort of primary SCRs. Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study with a study group comprising 22 patients who were followed up at a minimum of 24 (mean, 41; range, 27-65) months after SCR with dermal allograft performed for structural failure of a previous rotator cuff repair. The control group included 13 patients who previously underwent a primary SCR using dermal allograft and were followed up for 24 months. Clinical outcome measures comprised range of motion, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) Index. Radiological outcomes included the acromiohumeral interval and graft integrity on magnetic resonance imaging at one year. Logistic regression was used to determine whether SCR being undertaken as either a primary or revision procedure influenced functional outcomes or retear rate. Results: The mean age at the time of surgery was 58 (range, 39-74) years for the study group and 60 (range, 48-70) years for the control group. Forward flexion improved from a mean of 117° (range, 7°-180°) preoperatively to 140° (range, 45°-170°) postoperatively ( Conclusion: SCR using human dermal allograft following structural failure of a previous rotator cuff repair can lead to an improvement in clinical outcomes but the results are inferior to primary procedures.
