Biologic Footprint Reconstruction: Rotator Cuff Repair Using Biologic Tuberoplasty.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Irreparable rotator cuff tears present significant challenges owing to tear size, tendon retraction, and poor tissue quality. This article describes a surgical approach integrating biologic tuberoplasty with rotator cuff repair, using an acellular human dermal allograft to re-establish the rotator cuff footprint and prevent bone-on-bone contact between the humeral head and acromion. Footprint reconstruction is defined as allograft coverage of the tuberosity combined with partial cuff repair that includes some contact of the native cuff over the allograft. Changing the nomenclature to "biologic footprint reconstruction" more accurately describes the procedure when combined with partial cuff repair in continuity with the allograft and avoids confusion with isolated biologic tuberoplasty. The graft alleviates pain and creates a biologic healing environment. This approach is designed to reduce surgical complexity and improve efficiency, ensuring reproducibility while restoring shoulder biomechanics and function.
