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 technical note describes the surgical technique of combining anterior latissimus dorsi and teres major (LDTM) tendon transfer with biceps superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) for the treatment of anterosuperior irreparable rotator cuff tears (AIRCTs). Anterosuperior irreparable rotator cuff tears, characterized by irreparable tears in the subscapularis and supraspinatus tendons, can lead to significant shoulder dysfunction. The described procedure aims to restore glenohumeral stability, prevent humeral head migration, and optimize shoulder mechanics. The LDTM tendon transfer replicates the function of the subscapularis, while the biceps SCR helps prevent superior humeral head migration. This technical note provides a comprehensive, reproducible, and effective surgical approach for managing AIRCTs. Cite this article as: Baek CH, Kim BT, Kim JG, Lim C.
