The Y-Loop for Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair: An All-Arthroscopic Technique.
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 1 paper.
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
Rotator cuff tear is a prevalent shoulder condition that poses unique challenges for surgeons. Several locking suture methods based on the concept of single- or double-row fixation have been described and reported to address rotator cuff tears. However, not all methods yield acceptable clinical outcomes. In this article, we describe an all-arthroscopic double-row over-locking suture technique inspired by the H-loop and lark-loop techniques. This method uses a high-strength over-locking suture to create a horizontal stitch configuration that mimics the natural structure of the rotator cuff cable, thereby achieving a tear-resistant loop and initial tendon-to-bone fixation. Final fixation is accomplished using a suture anchor at the greater tuberosity. This technique is easy to perform, requires no additional sutures or stitches, and is particularly suitable for patients with small- to medium-sized rotator cuff tears or tendons of poor quality.
