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

Massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in relatively younger, active patients pose a significant clinical challenge. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) restores superior stability as a static stabilizer, whereas lower trapezius tendon transfer reestablishes external rotation and transverse plane balance as a dynamic stabilizer. We describe a simplified arthroscopy-assisted technique combining lower trapezius tendon transfer and superior capsular reconstruction using a single allogenic Achilles tendon graft to achieve simultaneous restoration of static and dynamic stabilizers, and external rotation strength of the shoulder.
