Long Head of the Biceps Pediculated Autograft Augmentation of Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair.
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 5 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
Subscapularis (SSc) repairs are not free of failure and continues to pose a challenging problem. Although various biological and structural augmentation methods are available for the posterosuperior rotator cuff, few options have been explored for the anterior one. In the Technical Note, we describe an all-arthroscopic technique in which we use the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) as a pediculated autograft to reinforce an SSc repair. After SSc repair and LHBT tenodesis, the intra-articular portion of the LHBT is placed on the upper part of the SSc tendon at the rotator interval. Repurposing the otherwise-discarded tendon brings several biological and mechanical advantages at a lower cost without donor-site morbidity.
