Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction With the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon to Reinforce the Repair of a Supraspinatus Tear and Increase Healing.
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 9 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
Rotator cuff tears continue to be a challenge for the shoulder surgeon since there is still a high rate of retears. To increase the rate of repair and decrease the number of retears, we present a technique, in which we reinforce a tension-free double-row repair of the supraspinatus with reconstruction of the superior capsule with the long head of the biceps (LHB). With this reinforcement of the cuff suture using the LHB, we increase both the biomechanics and biology of the repair and decrease the rate of reruptures.
