Arthroscopic Subpectoral Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii.
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 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
The long head of the biceps brachii is a common pain generator in the shoulder that is often managed surgically with tenotomy or tenodesis. The clinical outcomes after tenotomy and tenodesis are comparable. However, tenodesis is preferred in the active population owing to complications associated with tenotomy, including cosmetic deformity, early fatigue, and cramping. Controversy surrounds both the approach and location of tenodesis. Both open and arthroscopic techniques have been described. An arthroscopic approach is used for tenodesis within the intertubercular groove between the humeral head articular margin and superior border of the pectoralis major but has the drawback of pathologic tendon retained in the groove. An open approach is generally reserved for subpectoral tenodesis, which has the advantage of no retained pathologic tendon but has the drawbacks of an open approach. We describe an all-arthroscopic technique for subpectoral tenodesis of the long head of the biceps brachii at the lower border of the pectoralis major.
