Results of Latissimus Dorsi Transfer Associated with the Use of Autologous Fascia Lata Tendon Graft in Irreparable Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Injuries.

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
Objective: To evaluate the functional outcomes of latissimus dorsi transfer reinforced with an autologous fascia lata graft harvested from the thigh contralateral to the injury to treat irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears (IPSRCTs). The secondary objective was to assess complications related to graft harvesting. Methods: The present retrospective functional evaluation involved 17 patients (8 men and 9 women), with a mean age of 62.6 (54-73) years and a mean postoperative follow-up period of 21.2 (12-45) months. We compared pre- and postoperative University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) scores and range of motion (ROM), assessed donor-site hip abduction strength and recorded potential associated complications. The determination of correlations between variables used Pearson's coefficient, with Results: The mean postoperative UCLA score was 27.9 (14-33) points, representing an improvement of 16.7 points compared to the preoperative mean. Range of motion improved significantly ( Conclusion: This technique was effective in treating IPSRCTs, achieving a 70.6% satisfactory outcome based on the UCLA score and showing significant improvement in ROM. The use of an autologous graft represents a viable option with low complication rates, both at the shoulder and hip.
