Article in Asia-Pacific journal of sports medicine, arthroscopy, rehabilitation and technology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Bridging repair has emerged as a promising and reliable treatment strategy for the massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs). However, there remains a lack of evidence on which bridging graft provides the better repair results, and a dearth of animal studies comparing bridging repairs with different grafts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histological and biomechanical outcomes of commonly used grafts (autologous fascia lata (FL), acellular dermal matrix graft (ADM), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) patch). Methods: A total of 66 male New Zealand White Rabbits were used to mimic a model of unilateral chronic MRCTs. The rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: (1) FL group, which underwent bridging repair with autologous FL; (2) ADM group, which underwent bridging with ADM; and (3) PET group, which underwent bridging with PET patch. Tissue samples were collected and subjected to histological analysis using Hematoxylin and eosin, Picrosirius red, Safranin O/Fast green staining, and Immunostaining. Collagen diameter and fibril density in the regenerated tendon was analyzed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Additionally, biomechanical tests were performed at 6 and 12 weeks after repair. Results: The regenerated tendon successfully reattached to the footprint in all experimental groups. At 6 weeks after repair, the FL group had a significantly higher Modified Tendon Histological Evaluation (MTHE) score at the regenerated tendon than the PET group (13.2 ± 1.64 vs 9.6 ± 1.95, respectively; Conclusions: This study demonstrated that all three grafts could successfully bridging chronic MRCTs in a rabbit model. However, autologous FL promoted tendon regeneration and maturation, and enhanced the tensile properties of the tendon-to-bone complex when compared with ADM and PET grafts.
