Fully Arthroscopic Anterior Latissimus Dorsi and Teres Major Transfer for Anterosuperior Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A variety of treatment options have been proposed for patients with anterosuperior irreparable rotator cuff tears (ASIRCTs). The anterior latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfer has proven to be a viable option, because it serves as an internal rotator and mimics the line of pull of the subscapularis, which originates from the back of the chest wall. Incorporating the teres major (TM) tendon, which exhibits similar scapulohumeral kinematics to the subscapularis, strengthens the transfer, enhancing the shoulder's force couple restoration. In this Technical Note, we present a fully arthroscopic approach for anterior LDTM tendon transfer, performed without open or axillary arthroscopic incisions, to treat patients with ASIRCTs. This fully arthroscopic anterior LDTM tendon transfer is a reproducible and effective option for patients with ASIRCTs.
