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

It is well known that a substantial number of patients undergoing rotator cuff repair experience a full-thickness retear postsurgery. To enhance the suture's grip on the cuff tissue, several surgeons suggest employing various adaptations of the Mason-Allen stitch pattern for the repair. Nonetheless, the suture-passing configurations in many of these adapted Mason-Allen stitches tend to be more intricate and time-consuming compared to the double-row suture-bridge (DR-SB) repair, making them technically challenging and less preferred. We suggest a modified version of the traditional DR-SB technique, integrating elements of the modified Mason-Allen pattern, termed the double-row suture-bridge modified Mason-Allen stitch. This stitch utilizes a suture-passing pattern similar to the conventional DR-SB repair, while maintaining the strong grasping strength and reduced retear rate inherent in the original Mason-Allen stitch, thus achieving an optimal balance of effectiveness and efficiency.
