Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis: A Knotless, Onlay, All-Suture Anchor Technique.
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 3 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
Anterior shoulder pain is a common complaint often caused by pathology of the long head of the biceps such as biceps tendinitis, partial biceps tears, biceps instability, and SLAP lesions. Surgical treatment of biceps pathology includes tenotomy versus tenodesis, with tenodesis being favored in young, active patients owing to less cramping pain and superior outcomes in terms of shoulder function and cosmesis. Various surgical techniques for tenodesis of the long head of the biceps exist, with varying indications. Subpectoral biceps tenodesis is primarily indicated for zone 2 to 3 tendon pathology and revision biceps tenodesis. Secondary indications include overhead athletes, chronic biceps tendinopathy, and rotator cuff repair. Proximal arthroscopic biceps tenodesis performed "high in the groove" has been shown to preserve biceps length and reduce Popeye deformity compared with tenotomy. Knotless techniques are becoming popular; they provide low-profile fixation that limits knot abrasion and is not reliant on knot security for fixation. We present a variation of suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using knotless fixation in an onlay technique.
