Outcomes of distal biceps repair at two-year follow-up.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThis single-centre study aimed to review the postoperative outcomes of distal biceps avulsion repair using a single incision with the endo-button technique.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed of a single surgeon series of distal biceps repairs performed consecutively from September 2016 to September 2020. At two years, outcome measures included Oxford Elbow Score (OES), range of movement (ROM), complications and ongoing issues.
resultsForty-five distal biceps tendon repairs were performed on 43 patients with a mean follow-up of 3.2 years (1.1-5.3). The average OES was 46 (11-48), and 90% of patients recovered a comparable range of movement to the contralateral side. Two patients developed re-rupture (4%) on days 0 and 9 of surgery, but there were no late re-ruptures of the repair.
conclusionShort-term outcomes from distal biceps tendon repair show low complication rates, high patient satisfaction and good functional outcomes. The results would support acute surgical treatment of active, working-age, patients with distal biceps tendon ruptures.
