Repair of Massive Rotator Cuff Tear With Medialization and Balloon Spacer Insertion.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Retracted massive rotator cuff tears can be challenging to repair. Reduction of the retracted tendon to the native footprint may result in a repair with excessive tension. Repair under excessive tension predisposes to increased tendon retear rates. Footprint medialization involves securing the tendon medial to the anatomic footprint, resulting in decreased tension during repair. Several surgical adjuncts can also be employed to reinforce such tears so as to reduce the risk of retear. The aim of this Technical Note is to describe a surgical technique of rotator cuff repair with medialization of the footprint combined with a balloon spacer insertion.
