Arthroscopic Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair With Biceps Augmentation.
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 5 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 chronic retracted rotator cuff tears remains challenging to shoulder arthroscopy surgeons. With the recent technical advances, most of the massive rotator cuff tears are managed successfully. The biceps tendon is highly vascular and a rich source of tenocytes and fibroblasts, which can promote biological healing. In massive degenerate rotator cuff tears in which the rotator cuff tissue can be released and fixed onto the footprint without much tissue tension, long head of the biceps tendon can act as an augment providing structural support to the poor-quality rotator cuff tissue and also enhancing the healing process. In this Technical Note, we describe arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using biceps augmentation for a massive degenerate rotator cuff tear with the excursion of the cuff onto the footprint with minimal tissue tension.
