Article in Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) released the updated Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Rotator Cuff Injuries in August 2025. The guideline provides 25 recommendations and 4 consensus statements across diagnosis, treatment decision-making, biologic interventions, and postoperative rehabilitation, with the strength of each recommendation graded according to the quality of supporting evidence. The updated guideline highlights several key advances, including establishing CT as an important adjunctive imaging modality, providing specific recommendations on repair strategies for high-grade partial-thickness rotator cuff tears, and clearly restricting the use of platelet-rich plasma and marrow stimulation in rotator cuff repair, as well as limiting the application of prolotherapy in the treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears. In addition, the guideline emphasizes the potential benefits of early mobilization in patients with small to medium-sized tears.
