Arthroscopic Subdeltoid Transfer of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon to the Conjoint Tendon.
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 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
Surgical intervention is often recommended for refractory pathology affecting the biceps-labrum complex. Tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is a widely accepted treatment modality; however, the optimal technique remains elusive. Arthroscopic subdeltoid transfer of the LHBT to the conjoint tendon, as described in this technical note, continues to demonstrate excellent clinical results. Its advantages include soft tissue-to-soft tissue healing, an advantageous biomechanical construct, and comprehensive evaluation and decompression of the LHBT including the extra-articular bicipital tunnel. The primary limitation of this procedure is the perceived learning curve for safe navigation within the subdeltoid space.
