Comparison of Arthroscopic Single-row and Double-row Repair for Rotator Cuff Injuries With Different Tear Sizes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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: There is no clinical gold standard for the indications for single-row (SR) versus double-row (DR) repair according to small, large, or massive rotator cuff tear size. Purpose: To conduct a meta-analysis to compare the clinical outcomes and retear rates after arthroscopic SR and DR repair for rotator cuff injuries with different tear sizes. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: On the basis of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria, the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and China BioMedical Literature database were searched for relevant studies published before November 1, 2021, using the following search terms: "Rotator Cuff Injuries," "Rotator Cuff Tears," "Arthroscopy," "Arthroscopic Surgery," "single-row," and "double-row"; a total of 489 articles were retrieved. Quality evaluation was conducted for all the studies that met the inclusion criteria. This study evaluated the Constant-Murley score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score, and range of motion (ROM) as well as retear rate. A fixed-effects or random-effects model was adopted to calculate the results and assess risk. Results: A total of 10 clinical studies were included, with 404 cases of DR and 387 cases of SR. Regarding overall results, DR had better forward elevation ROM (mean difference [MD] = -4.03° [95% CI, -6.00° to -2.06°]; Conclusion: Our meta-analysis revealed that DR had better UCLA scores, ASES scores, and ROM in forward elevation and lower retear rates. In rotator cuff tears <3 cm, there were no statistical differences in clinical outcome between SR and DR.
