Arthroscopic double row repair of massive posterosuperior tear: healing and functional outcomes.
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
Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the healing and functional outcomes of an arthroscopic repair for massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears using 8 strands knotless double-row parachute technique. We hypothesized that this technique would lead to a high rate of healing and would restore functional range of motion (ROM). Purpose: To evaluate the healing and functional outcomes of arthroscopic repair for massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears using an 8-strand knotless double-row parachute technique. Methods: This retrospective single-center study included patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears between June 2018 and October 2022. Inclusion criteria were full-thickness tears involving at least 2 tendons, at least 1 tendon with retraction Patte grade 2, at least 1 tendon with fatty infiltration Goutallier grade 2 (or Fuchs equivalent), and absence of glenohumeral arthropathy beyond Hamada grade 2. A minimum of 12 months of clinical follow-up and post-operative magnetic resonance imaging at ≥6 months were required. All repairs were performed arthroscopically using an 8-strand knotless double-row "parachute" construct, designed to provide broad tendon compression and tension-free fixation. The primary outcome was the structural integrity of the repair on magnetic resonance imaging, classified according to Sugaya. Secondary outcomes included improvements in Constant score, Subjective Shoulder Value, visual analog scale for pain, range of motion, and complication rate. Subgroup analyses compared healed versus retear cases. Results: A total of 52 shoulders (51 patients; mean age 60.7 ± 7.6 years) were analyzed at a mean follow-up of 45.1 ± 16.1 months. The healing rate was 86.5% (45/52 shoulders), with 7 retears (13.5%). The Constant score improved from 51.6 ± 18.5 to 91.8 ± 18.5 ( Conclusions: The arthroscopic 8-strand knotless double-row parachute technique is effective with a high healing rate reaching 86.5% and excellent clinical outcomes in patients with massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears.
