Superior Capsule Reconstruction Augmentation for Massive Rotator Cuff Repair Using the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon.
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
Managing massive rotator cuff tears in patients with minimal arthropathy who maintain an active lifestyle remains a significant challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. There is still uncertainty regarding which joint-preserving surgical techniques offer the best clinical and functional outcomes while minimizing the risk of retears. For some time, superior capsular repair has been used to treat massive rotator cuff tears through the ability to restore glenohumeral stability and function, decrease superior capsular distance, and provide biologic augmentation. The use of the long head of the biceps tendon as augmentation for irreparable rotator cuff tears provides support while reducing concerns associated with allograft viability, rejection, infection, and costs. In this Technical Note, we present our preferred surgical technique for superior capsular repair with long head of the biceps tendon, with successful recovery of range of motion, strength, and function of the shoulder at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively.
