Outcomes of Superior Capsular Reconstruction Using the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon in Large to Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
(1) Background: Addressing large to massive rotator cuff tears (LMRCTs) poses complex challenges. This systematic review investigated outcomes of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) compared to conventional rotator cuff repair (RCR) for LMRCTs. (2) Methods: A systematic search across the MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases until 1 October 2023 identified studies that directly compared SCR with LHBT with conventional RCR in patients with LMRCTs and included a minimum of a 12-month follow-up period. The assessed outcome measures encompassed retear rates, functional outcomes, range of motion (ROM), and acromiohumeral interval (AHI). Risk of bias assessment was conducted via the Robins-I tool. (3) Results: In six studies with 456 cases (210 SCR using LHBT and 246 using RCR), SCR with LHBT significantly reduced retear rates (OR = 0.21; 95% CI, 0.12-0.36;
