How to Expose the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon in Shoulder Arthroscopy Efficiently: The Tubercle-Traction and Touch-Tendon Method.
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
Arthroscopic tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is a common procedure in a series of bicipital tendinopathies, including tendinitis, SLAP lesions, and tendon instability. Locating and exposing the LHBT during arthroscopy present a technical challenge in tenodesis. Blind exploration of the subacromial space may result in inadvertent tendon transection and iatrogenic damage to surrounding structures, leading to increased patient trauma, bleeding, and operation time. Using the tubercle-traction and touch-tendon method facilitates a roadmap-style, accurate, prompt exposure of the LHBT, minimizing blind exploration-related damage to the subacromial bursal area and adjacent structures, which is conducive to early and rapid postoperative shoulder recovery for patients.
