Surgical Options for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears with Preserved Full Range of Motion in Middle-Aged Patients.
Review in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 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
Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are a primary cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. The progression of these tears, coupled with the intricate biomechanics of the shoulder joint, makes the repair and management of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) particularly challenging for surgeons. For younger patients who are ineligible for arthroplasty, surgical approaches for MRCTs-such as biologic augmentation, interpositional grafts, and techniques like superior capsular reconstruction and biceps rerouting to counteract humeral upward migration-are gaining prominence. Additionally, tendon transfers, supraspinatus advancement, and subacromial balloon spacers are increasingly being utilized to manage MRCTs. This review aims to provide a concise overview and analysis of current research on the evaluation and arthroscopic management of MRCTs in middle-aged patients to aid in shaping and refining future treatment approaches.
