Prospective comparative study of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with or without acellular dermal matrix augmentation: Clinical and radiological outcomes.
Trial report in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 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
objectiveTo prospectively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic acellular dermal matrix (ADM) augmentation of large rotator cuff tear repairs (RCR) in a comparative study.
methodsA prospective single-center series of 20 patients undergoing arthroscopic RCR. The patients were randomized to arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff patch augmentation repair with a decellularized dermis prepared in the tissue bank or a control group without augmentation. Preoperative and postoperative functional outcomes were assessed by The University of California- LosAngeles (UCLA) score. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation was obtained 1 year after surgery. All adverse events were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed in R 4.2 (Boston, USA), using non-parametric group tests for paired data to evaluate functional results. The mean age was 59 years in the ADM group and 56.7 years in the control group. The gender distribution was 60% male and 40% female in both groups.
resultsEach group consisted of 10 patients, with no statistically significant differences observed in age, body mass index, or preoperative UCLA assessment. In the ADM augmentation group, 2 patients required reoperation due to re-tear before the end of the follow-up period.No statistically significant differences were found in functional outcome measures at any of the evaluation points. Final MRI identified 5 reruptures in the matrix group and 6 in the control group, showing no statistical difference between groups. No adverse events attribut able to the presence of the grafts were detected.
conclusionThese findings suggest that ADM augmentation may yield outcomes comparable to standard care, in terms of UCLA scores and re-tear rates. No adverse events related to ADM were observed.
