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

This article describes a technique that combines biceps anterior cable reconstruction with biological tuberoplasty using a composite collagen matrix-Achilles tendon allograft for patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears. These patients often experience loss of the force couple, leading to superior humeral migration, which causes an abutment of the greater tuberosity against the acromion during active deltoid contraction. In addressing this issue, both biceps anterior cable reconstruction and biological tuberoplasty have proved effective. The combined approach offers biomechanical advantages by stabilizing the humeral head through biceps anterior cable reconstruction while biological tuberoplasty provides cushioning and prevents bone-to-bone contact between the acromion and greater tuberosity. We believe these 2 procedures have a synergistic effect, promoting joint preservation, postoperative pain relief, and improved shoulder function.
