Why 6 Fingers Are Better Than 5! The Versatility and Utility of the Sixth Finger Knot Pusher in Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery.

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
Arthroscopic knot tying in shoulder surgery offers the surgeon versatility and security when performing certain procedures. While knotless techniques have become popular, the young surgeon should develop and maintain their knot-tying skills. The surgeon's knot has been shown to offer the best loop and knot security on testing. The sixth finger knot pusher is a double-lumen knot pusher that permits tying the arthroscopic surgeon's knot, while offering a number of advantages over a traditional knot pusher. Its utility in shoulder surgery, as well as its advantages and disadvantages, are discussed in this Technical Note.
