A technique for arthroscopic-assisted lower trapezius transfer using an Achilles tendon allograft augmented with acellular dermal matrix to treat posterior superior irreparable rotator cuff tears in the lateral decubitus position.
Article in Clinics in shoulder and elbow, 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
Lower trapezius tendon transfer has emerged as an effective treatment option with promising clinical outcomes for patients with posterior superior irreparable rotator cuff tears (PSIRCTs). This technique has gained considerable attention for PSIRCTs, with various modifications proposed by different authors. In this report, we present an arthroscopic-assisted approach to lower trapezius tendon transfer in patients with PSIRCT using an Achilles tendon allograft that is reinforced with an acellular dermal matrix graft. The procedure is conducted with the patient in the lateral decubitus position.
