Arthroscopic-Assisted Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer for Irreparable Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears Using a Quadricipital Tendon Allograft and a Double-Row Construct.

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
Lower trapezius transfer is a joint salvage treatment option for irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in relatively young patients. It requires the use of a tendinous graft to bridge the gap between the lower trapezius and the greater tuberosity. Inlay fixation of hamstring autografts and onlay single-row fixation of Achilles allografts have been described in the literature. This technical note describes an arthroscopic-assisted lower trapezius transfer using a quadricipital tendon allograft fixed with an onlay knotless double-row construct.
