1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Postoperative insufficiency of the subscapularis can diminish clinical outcome after shoulder arthroplasty. Poor tendon tissue quality and prior surgery can impair the possibility of reconstruction and healing, as well as the postoperative range of motion and strength. Patch augmentation has been investigated for soft tissue augmentation in the glenohumeral joint utilizing different graft materials. Recently, the surgical technique using compressed biceps tendon autograft was introduced for the subscapularis augmentation following shoulder arthroplasty. However, the viable cell potential after mechanical compression remains uncertain. Therefore, we propose an augmentation technique of the subscapularis tendon using a sliced autograft of the long head of the biceps tendon. This technique can offer a simple, replicable, and cost-effective autologous tendon patch augmentation after subscapularis tenotomy in the setting of total shoulder arthroplasty.
