Promoting hematoma-like tissue formation in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: impact of a bioinductive collagen implant.
Article in JSES international, 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
Background: Hematomas, rich in platelet-derived growth factors, are vital in tendon-bone healing. Reportedly, larger hematoma-like tissue (HLT) surrounding the repaired tissue at 6-8 weeks after rotator cuff repair on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging effectively predicts structural outcomes (Sugaya classification type 1) at 6 months post-operatively. Recent studies explored the use of a reconstituted type I bovine collagen bioinductive implant derived from the bovine Achilles tendon to improve healing rates and tissue thickness, leading to favorable clinical outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether using this collagen implant to cover the lateral side of the sutured rotator cuff enhances the HLT size, formation, and maintenance at 6-8 weeks post-operatively. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using the surface-holding method. Fifty-eight patients were treated without implants (H group), while 58 received bioinductive collagen implants (REGENETEN; Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA, USA) (R group). Magnetic resonance imaging was performed at 1 week and 6-8 weeks post-operatively to evaluate HLT thickness, classified as grades 1 (no HLT), 2 (HLT not exceeding the line connecting the cuff surface and the lateral edge of the greater tuberosity), or 3 (HLT exceeding the line). Retears at 6-8 weeks post-operatively were also assessed. Results: At 1 week post-operatively, 55.2% of the H group and 60.3% of the R group were classified as grade 3, with no significant difference ( Conclusion: Implanting a reconstituted type I bovine collagen bioinductive implant in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using the surface-holding method helps to preserve and enhance HLT thickness, with a higher proportion of patients achieving grade 3 HLT at 6-8 weeks post-operatively. These findings suggest the potential of collagen implants to improve tendon-bone healing and structural outcomes.
