Better results with patelloplasty compared to traditional total knee arthroplasty.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 aim of this study was to compare the results of primary total knee arthroplasty with or without patelloplasty.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 89 patients who had received total knee arthroplasty. In patelloplasty, the patellar cartilage was resected using a tangential saw cut, and in the traditional treatment, only the surrounding osteophytes were removed. The outcome was measured using radiographs, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Oxford Knee Score, Knee Society Score, Knee Society Function Score and Knee Society Pain Score.
resultsPatelloplasty patients had a better outcome according to the Oxford Knee Score (P = 0.012), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (P = 0.003) and all of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score subscales (P < 0.05). The patella was significantly thinner (P = 0.001) post-operatively in the patelloplasty patients, but there was no statistically significant correlation between Oxford Knee Score or Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and post-operative patellar thickness in the patelloplasty group.
conclusionsIn this follow-up, patelloplasty was better than traditional treatment in relieving pain and improving function and quality of life.
