High-Strength Tape for Cable Structure Reconstruction During Arthroscopic Repair of L-Shaped Rotator Cuff Tears.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
With the innovation and progressive maturation of arthroscopic techniques, the advantages of minimally invasive surgery and accelerated rehabilitation have made arthroscopy a preferred option for patients with rotator cuff injuries. However, for complex rotator cuff tears, such as "L-shaped" tendon tears, the risk of postoperative retear remains considerable. The cable structure, serving as a "suspension bridge" within the rotator cuff, is a critical load-bearing component of the shoulder joint. This structure is frequently compromised in "L-shaped" rotator cuff tears. In this report, we describe an arthroscopic technique using high-strength tape to restore the cable structure and treat "L-shaped" rotator cuff tears. The key steps include using high-strength tape to reduce the retracted tendon stump and restore the cable structure, thereby re-establishing mechanical integrity, reducing tension on the repaired tendon, and minimizing the cutting effect of sutures on the tendon. Finally, the sutures from the medial-row anchor are employed to perform a "Margin Convergence" repair of the longitudinal tear component.
