LOWER TRAPEZIUS TRANSFER FOR IRREPARABLE ROTATOR CUFF TEAR: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.
Review in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2025. 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
To evaluate functional results considering the final stages of function and postoperative pain in patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears undergoing surgical treatment by lower trapezius transfer. A systematic review of the literature was carried out following the PRISMA guidelines without restrictions on language and year of publication. The search was carried out in the following databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The main descriptors used were: "Rotator Cuff" OR "Rotator Cuff Injuries" OR Rotator Cuff Tear. The stages analyzed were pain, range of motion and function. We found 215 articles, of which 12 were included involving 374 participants. There was a statistically significant improvement comparing the pre and postoperative periods. The average intensity of pain was 7.1 and decreased to 2.4 according to the VAS. Using the ASES system, the result certainly improved, where the initial average was 49.5 (bad result) and the final average was 78.3 (good result). The results suggest that lower trapezius transfer is effective as a therapeutic option in patients treated by the surgical technique studied, according to the results found.
