Modified Arthroscopic Latissimus Dorsi Transfer at the Infraspinatus Footprint With Anterior Extracortical Fixation.
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 4 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 cuff tears may represent as many as 20% to 40% of total cases of operated rotator cuff tears and can be a challenging clinical problem. Many treatment options have been proposed for their treatment. Among these options, latissimus dorsi tendon transfer can be considered a good alternative, especially in young patients before they develop glenohumeral arthritic changes. This technique aims at rebalancing the shoulder with a functioning subscapularis muscle and restoring both active external rotation and elevation with the aid of a properly functioning deltoid muscle. The modified arthroscopic latissimus dorsi transfer at the infraspinatus footprint with anterior extracortical fixation rebalances the pair of forces acting on the shoulder, stabilizing it in the transverse plane, minimizing the risk of latissimus dorsi transferred rupture and associated complications.
