Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis With Interference Screw Fixation: A Technique Video.
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. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Management of long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) pathology is accomplished through a biceps tenotomy or tenodesis. While both modalities provide beneficial outcomes, a biceps tenodesis may confer improved cosmesis, functional outcomes, and decreased muscle cramping postoperatively. Many procedural considerations are undertaken prior to a tenodesis, such as the surgical approach and fixation device. While similar clinical outcomes are achieved between an open subpectoral and arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis (ASPBT) with interference screw (IS) fixation, the latter technique offers a minimally invasive modality. Indications: The primary indications for an ASPBT include superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) tears, LHBT tears, biceps instability, bicipital tunnel disease, biceps pulley lesions, and biceps tenosynovitis. Contraindications to the arthroscopic approach include a distal lesion of the biceps tendon below the pectoralis major tendon (PMT). The IS may be used to create a biomechanically stiffer construct. Technique Description: With the arthroscope in the lateral portal, the distal aspect of the bicipital groove proximal to the superior border of the PMT is identified and opened. The LHBT is subsequently mobilized and released. An anterosuperolateral portal is localized with a spinal needle positioned perpendicular to the bicipital tunnel, 1.5 cm proximal to the superior border of the PMT. The biceps is then removed Results: ASPBT with IS fixation provides significant pain relief, improves range of motion (ROM), and enhances quality of life. Discussion: ASPBT with IS fixation provides significant improvements in patient-reported and functional outcomes and thus can be an acceptable treatment for LHBT pathology.
