A new attempt to treat Ellman III PASTA lesions: arthroscopic side-to-side anastomosis of longitudinal split tendon.

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
To investigate the surgical method and therapeutic effect of longitudinal tendon splitting and side-to-side anastomosis on Ellman III partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion (PASTA) lesions under arthroscope. Thirty-two patients with Ellman III PASTA lesions were treated with the method. Joint range of motion, Visual Analogue Score (VAS), University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores were recorded and compared before surgery and at the last follow-up, and postoperative pain and functional improvement were comprehensively evaluated. At the last postoperative follow-up, the patients had anterior flexion (168.69 ± 4.99) °, abduction (167.72 ± 4.88) °, external rotation (82.44 ± 3.20) °, and internal rotation (68.25 ± 4.04) °. At the last follow-up, VAS, UCLA, and ASES scores were improved, respectively. The technique of longitudinal tendon splitting and side-to-side anastomosis under arthroscopy has little damage to the normal tissue of bursa-sided supraspinatus muscle, which is an effective method for treating Ellman III PASTA lesions.
