Long Head of the Biceps Tendon Pediculated Autograft Augmentation of Subscapularis Repair During Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Access to the glenohumeral joint during a deltopectoral approach to total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) often requires some form of subscapularis (SSc) tendon detachment, which may lead to iatrogenic damage and insufficiency of a previously healthy structure. Despite optimization of SSc management techniques, the overall repair failure rate remains high. Although various biological and structural augmentation methods have been advocated to enhance healing of rotator cuff repairs, few options have yet been explored for SSc repair after TSA. In this Technical Note, we describe a method involving the long head of the biceps tendon as a pediculated autograft to reinforce the SSc repair after anatomic or reverse TSA. After long head of the biceps tendon tenodesis, its proximal part is released from the supraglenoid tubercle while remaining in its groove to be subsequently placed at the rotator interval and sutured either to the SSc, the supraspinatus, or the entire anterosuperior rotator cuff on an individual basis. Repurposing the otherwise-discarded tendon brings several mechanical and biological advantages for SSc repair healing at low cost and without donor-site morbidity.
