Endoscopic Repair of the Distal Biceps Tendon.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Distal biceps ruptures are common orthopaedic injuries that may result in cosmetic deformity, loss of subjective flexion strength, and loss of objective supination strength if treated nonoperatively. To combat this, both single- and dual-incision techniques have been developed to repair the distal biceps. Although each of these procedures has unique complications, both procedures are at risk of posterior interosseous nerve palsies, with up to 21% of surgeons reporting nerve palsies. This article proposes an endoscopically assisted biceps tendon repair that uses minimal retraction of the muscles in the forearm, which may lower the risk of traction-related nerve palsy. In addition, direct visualization of the radial tuberosity with a small-joint arthroscope allows for ideal placement of suture anchors on the native footprints of the short head and long head insertions of the biceps tendon.
