Arthroscopic-guided Release of Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Muscles for Repair of Large-to-Massive Rotator Cuff Tear and Suprascapular Nerve Release.
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 2 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
This technical note presents an all-arthroscopic technique designed to release and advance the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles in cases of massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears involving the retracted muscles. The aim is to avoid neuromuscular damage and facilitate tension-free repair by reducing the anatomical tendon footprint. Traditionally, such tears have been considered irreparable and have been treated with superior capsular reconstruction or tendon-transfer procedures. The all-arthroscopic approach detailed here involves muscle detachment and advancement, enhancing tendon mobilization, and enabling tension-free repair. The key to this technique is resection of the acromioclavicular joint to aid in muscle advancement, particularly for the supraspinatus muscle.
