Latissimus Dorsi Transfer Combined With Dynamic Biceps Rerouting for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.
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
Treating patients with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears, particularly those with loss of external rotation and active elevation function, has always been a challenging clinical problem. Latissimus dorsi transfer has shown long-term clinical reliability, especially as a preferred surgical option for relatively young patients. However, isolated tendon transfer appears insufficient to restore the range of motion in patients with bidirectional deficits. There are various surgical techniques using the long head of the biceps tendon to mimic superior capsular reconstruction, among which dynamic biceps rerouting is a superior capsular reconstruction with more tension that can reconstruct the balance of vertical pairs acting on the shoulder. Latissimus dorsi transfer combined with dynamic biceps rerouting can compensate for the bidirectional functional deficiencies of the rotator cuff and minimize the risk of latissimus dorsi tendon rupture and related complications.
