Double Attack Repair for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: Superior Capsular Reconstruction Using the Long Head of Biceps Tendon Plus Margin Convergence 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 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
Arthroscopic repair of massive retracted rotator cuff tears is very challenging with a high incidence of retears. Many techniques have been described to improve the outcomes of arthroscopic repair. In this technique, a superior capsular reconstruction using the long head of the biceps is combined with margin convergence repair aimed at improving the mechanical strength of the repair. The long head of the biceps is used as a superior capsular reconstruction to stabilize the humeral head and prevent proximal migration. Moreover, margin convergence provides an efficient gap filling between remnants of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons to restore an efficient rotator repair in anatomical, biological, and tension-free fashion.
