Patella baja after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 literature data on patellar height following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are scarce.
methodsA total of 41 knee joints in 37 patients after UKA were prospectively evaluated for patellar height by using the Insall-Salvati and modified Insall-Salvati ratio. Patellar height was measured preoperatively, postoperatively, at 6, 12 weeks, and, at 1 year postoperatively. Patients were categorized according to age, gender, operated side, and rehabilitation program.
resultsRegarding all the patients, the Insall-Salvati ratio demonstrated a significant decrease only for the time period "postoperatively-1 year postoperatively", whereas the modified Insall-Salvati ratio showed a significant decrease only for the period "preoperatively-postoperatively". The Insall-Salvati ratio showed a significant decrease in the patellar height of men and left knees, whereas the modified Insall-Salvati ratio revealed a significant decrease in patients older than 65 years and those who followed a specific rehabilitation program.
conclusionsThe decrease in the patellar height after UKA occurs within the first postoperative year. Women, right knees, patients younger than 65 years and those who do not follow a specific rehabilitation program are less prone to decrease in the patellar height; ratio-specific differences are evident for each subgroup. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic study, Level III.
