L-Shaped Three-Portal Configuration for Arthroscopic Double-Row Suture Repair of Lafosse Type III and IV Subscapularis Tears.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lafosse type III and IV subscapularis tendon injuries are severe rotator cuff tears. Current repair uses anterolateral, anterior, and lateral portals, which have restricted visualization and difficult maneuverability. This technical note describes an L-shaped three-portal (LST) combination: anterosuperolateral, anteroinferolateral, and anteroinferomedial portals. The L-shaped three-portal configuration establishes an unobstructed surgical field free from bony interference, allowing comprehensive subscapularis tendon exposure. It optimizes anchor insertion angles and suture passing path, promoting accurate anchor fixation and effective suture management. Ultimately, it minimizes surgical complications and improves double-row repair efficiency for Lafosse type III/IV injuries, presenting a secure and efficient approach. This article outlines the technique, highlighting procedural aspects, potential risks, advantages, and limitations.
