1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 long head of the biceps tendon is a valuable autologous tissue for biologic augmentation in rotator cuff repair. Redirecting the long head of the biceps tendon can enhance its role as a humeral head depressor, limiting superior humeral head migration, and improving rotator cuff force couple and shoulder biomechanics. Incorporating the long head of the biceps tendon into the rotator cuff repair construct can enhance the repair by acting as a biologic internal brace, promoting load sharing and improving structural integrity. This technique may improve healing, repair durability, and functional outcomes, especially in large or revision tears with poor tissue quality.
