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

Although isolated long head of the biceps (LHB) pathology is relatively rare, it is commonly encountered in the treatment of concomitant intraarticular shoulder pathology such as subscapularis tear, SLAP tears, and coracoid impingement. Shoulder pain arising from the LHB generally occurs with overhead repetitive motion and activities of resisted pronation and supination of the forearm. Although there are several approaches to treatment and types of fixation used to address LHB tendon pathology, there is no clear superior method of surgical intervention. As opposed to intraosseous fixation with an inlay technique, an onlay technique fixes the tendon to the cortical surface with the advantage of decreased risk of torsional fracture and a smaller footprint with less bone loss. We describe our preferred technique for the treatment of the LHB tendon pathology using an all-knotless onlay TensionTight locking button technique with a mini-open subpectoral biceps tenodesis.
