Arthroscopic Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair With Box Configuration.
Article in Video journal of sports medicine. 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
Background: Arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent (TOE) techniques may offer additional advantages, including a more efficient surgery with a self-reinforcing construct with equivalent clinical results to medial knotted TOE repair for rotator cuff tears (RCTs). Indications: An arthroscopic knotless double-row (DR) rotator cuff repair (RCR) using FiberTak RC anchors for medial row fixation with box configuration may be an appropriate construct for operatively indicated small-to-moderate full-thickness RCTs. Technique: Our modified technique uses TOE repair principles to address RCTs too small for traditional 4.75-mm anchors using medial row fixation and too large to apply a single medial to lateral anchor repair. The patient is placed in a beach chair position. In addition to standard anterior and posterior portals, a lower lateral working portal and a higher posterolateral viewing portal are made. Subsequent to supraspinatus footprint visualization/preparation, two 2.6-mm FiberTak RC anchors each loaded with 1 LabralTape and 1 FiberWire are placed medially. The 4 sets of sutures for one anchor are placed through the rotator cuff tendon together in 1 spot and the process is repeated for the second anchor. One FiberWire from each anchor is then tied extracorporeally and then a double pulley technique is used to compress the medial aspect of the repair at the footprint in a box configuration. Finally, 1 limb of LabralTape from each of the medial anchors along with the corresponding FiberWire is secured through 2 lateral-row 4.75-mm anchors anteriorly and posteriorly to restore the lateral footprint and secure the rotator cuff in TOE box configuration. This modified technique can provide anatomical compression of the rotator cuff tendon at the footprint with additional medial compression achieved by the box configuration while taking advantage of knotless fixation. Results: Postoperatively, a sling is worn for 4 weeks, passive range of motion (ROM) is initiated at 2 weeks, active ROM is begun at 6 weeks, and strengthening at 3 months. Patients may return to full unrestricted activities around 5 to 6 months. Discussion/Conclusion: A modified arthroscopic DR RCR with box configuration is an excellent treatment option for patients with small-to-moderate full-thickness RCT who fail conservative treatment.
