Total knee arthroplasty without patellar resurfacing.
Trial report in International orthopaedics, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
One hundred and eleven total knee replacements without patellar resurfacing were followed-up for a minimum of 48.8 months (range 48.8-108.2 months; average 78.2 months). Evaluation was performed using the Knee Society Clinical Rating System (KS-CRS). Preoperatively, the mean knee score was 34.3 points and the mean function score was 42.2 points. Postoperatively, this knee score improved to a mean of 91.1 points and the function score improved to mean of 89.6 points at the most recent follow-up. There were no significant differences among the knees with mild, moderate, or severe degenerative change to the patella with regard to the preoperative (p=0.83) and postoperative (p=0.39) knee pain score. It seems likely that the postoperative knee pain is not related to the severity of degenerative change to the patella in total knee arthroplasties performed without patellar resurfacing, and none of those patients required patellar resurfacing to achieve knee pain relief.
