[The third compartment in knee endoprosthetics: from denervation to replacement, which therapy is correct?].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Involvement of the patellofemoral compartment is common in osteoarthritis of the knee but to date there is no consensus as to the most appropriate approach concerning the patella. Both general non-selective resurfacing as well as selective or secondary resurfacing are currently accepted. However, despite abundant studies on the subject no clear conclusions can be drawn from the available evidence. There are arguments in favour of either approach. Accordingly, no strong evidence can be found to support peripatellar denervation. With the advent of new diagnostic modalities for the assessment of knee osteoarthritis, such as single photon emission computed tomography/CT (SPECT/CT), a more selective approach to patellar resurfacing with a potentially improved outcome might become possible.
