Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears Can Be Safely Treated With a Resorbable Bioinductive Bovine Collagen Implant: One-Year Results of a Prospective, Multicenter Registry.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to prospectively collect safety and efficacy data in a large group of patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears augmented with a resorbable bioinductive bovine collagen implant designed to promote healing.
methodsSeventeen centers across the United States enrolled patients in an institutional review board-approved registry to collect outcomes data on the implant. Patients undergoing surgical management of full-thickness rotator cuff tears augmented with the implant were enrolled. Inclusion criteria were age of ≥21 years, willingness to participate and the ability to read and speak English. Exclusion criteria included hypersensitivity to bovine-derived products. Patients were assessed before and after surgery at up to 1 year with outcomes including the single-assessment numeric evaluation (SANE), Veterans RAND 12-Item (VR-12) mental components and physical components (VR-12 PCS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) outcome measures. Ad hoc analyses were performed to compare these outcomes at all time points depending on tear size (small/medium vs large/massive). Serious complications were collected.
resultsOf 210 patients enrolled, 192 had 1-year follow-up data available. The patients experienced statistically significant improvement between baseline and 1 year for mean SANE, VR-12 PCS, ASES, and WORC scores (40.0-82.0, 33.5-47.3, 46.2-87.8, and 36.2-81.0, respectively;
conclusionsThe safety and efficacy of a bioinductive implant in the surgical management of full-thickness rotator cuff tears at 1 year was shown in this study. Implant efficacy appears to be comparable regardless of the underlying tear size. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic case series.
