Biplanar supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomy for patellofemoral malalignment: the anterior closed-wedge technique.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
unlabelledPatellofemoral malalignment can be caused by several factors including increased internal torsion of the femur. As a causative treatment method, supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomies have been proposed. For valgus- and varus-producing supracondylar femoral osteotomies, a biplanar osteotomy has been introduced in order to enhance primary fixation stability and osseous consolidation by increased bone-to-bone contact. In this article, a modification of this technique is described, which allows for a biplanar supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.
