[Operative therapy of isolated patellofemoral arthritis. Biomechanics as a guide].
Article in Der Orthopade, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe treatment of patellofemoral arthritis places high demands on orthopedists. The exact analysis of the underlying pathobiomechanical relationships is the basis for every therapy decision.
methodsSoft tissue procedures, such as medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for stabilization and bone interventions for alignment optimization (e.g. tuberosity transfer and corrective osteotomy) can play a role in treatment. In cases of advanced patellofemoral arthrosis these interventions can be used as well as in combination with partial joint replacement. For the choice of implant the use of anatomical prosthesis types is recommended because with these components the number of additional procedures can be reduced.
conclusionThe success of patellofemoral prosthetics depends mainly on the recognition of biomechanical deviations. If these can be corrected the risk of implant failure can be reduced.
