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
This technique describes a tensionable knotless tendon-sparing biceps rerouting for superior capsular reconstruction using the long head of the biceps in irreparable supraspinatus tears. The long head of the biceps is arthroscopically released from the bicipital groove, rerouted over the greater tuberosity footprint, and secured with 2 self-punching, double-loaded knotless all-suture anchors, creating tensionable loops that stabilize both the long head of the biceps and infraspinatus or anterior cuff remnants. Medial side-to-side sutures further enhance reduction and stability. This technique preserves the tendon, avoids perforation of the tendon tissue, and eliminates the need for graft harvesting or bone tunnels. The approach is reproducible, minimally invasive, and suitable for degenerative or inflamed tendons, providing biomechanical stability and improved functional outcomes. Diligent patient selection remains critical for optimal results.
