Specific non-myogenic mesenchymal cells contribute to rotator cuff tear myosteatosis and fibrosis revealing novel therapeutic options.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. 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
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles in the shoulder, which aid in movement and rotation of the upper arm. Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) within tendons of these muscles are common musculoskeletal injuries, often resulting in intramuscular fat, fibrosis, and muscle atrophy. Fatty infiltration specifically correlates with high rates of retear following repair. The cellular sources and molecular cues that cause these pathologies are unknown and therefore non-surgical cell/drug therapies for RCTs do not exist. Thus, we first sought to determine the cellular source(s) and molecular underpinnings of fatty atrophy and fibrosis associated with massive RCTs. Using a murine model of massive RCTs combined with lineage tracing, we demonstrate that muscle resident
