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

Rotator cuff repairs demonstrate variable success, with reported retear rates from 4% to 94%, and the highest retear rates are associated with large and massive tears. Scaffolds are an augmentation strategy for repairs aimed at fortifying healing of the bone-tendon junction by facilitating cellular repopulation and marrow elements at the tendon footprint. The Rotium nanofiber scaffold (Atreon Orthopedics, Columbus, OH) is an interpositional nanofiber scaffold that is compressed between the repaired rotator cuff and the footprint on the greater tuberosity. The bioabsorbable synthetic profile replicates the native tendinous attachment with minimal risk of immunogenicity and with resorption at 3 to 4 months. This article describes a preparation and implantation strategy to augment arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, adding minimal surgical time.
