Successful Primary Repair of a Traumatic Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture With the Arthrex Biceps Button System and Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy: A Case Report and Surgical Outcome.
Article in Cureus, 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
Traumatic rupture of the distal biceps tendon is a relatively rare injury often requiring surgical reconstruction. The typical surgical repair for a traumatic distal biceps tendon rupture is a single anterior incision with cortical button fixation, followed by early mobilization, with most patients returning to full activity or sport at approximately six months postoperatively. We present a case of a 48-year-old male patient who experienced a traumatic distal biceps rupture following a water skiing accident. The patient underwent surgical repair using the Arthrex button system with the application of platelet-rich plasma. Postoperative follow-up showed significant improvement in pain, range of motion, and strength, with the patient returning to normal activities within three months. This case highlights the successful management of a distal biceps rupture and the potential role of platelet-rich plasma in enhancing postoperative recovery.
