A mini-invasive procedure for treating arthrofibrosis of the knee.
Article in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to introduce the results of a novel mini-invasive operative technique comprising mini-incision release, "pie-crusting" lengthening of the quadriceps extensor, and arthroscopic lysis in severe arthrofibrotic knees.
methodsFrom 2010 to 2014, 17 patients (12 males and 5 females with a mean age of 44 years (range, 19-62 years)) with severely arthrofibrotic knees were treated with this operative technique. The mean follow-up duration was 23 months. The knee range of motion (ROM) was assessed with a goniometer. The functional outcomes were evaluated according to the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and Judet's criteria.
resultsThe ROM significantly improved from 29.7° (range, 7°-56°) preoperatively to 127° (range, 120°-136°) at the final follow-up in all patients (p < 0.001). According to Judet's criteria, all patients achieved excellent results (ROM>100°). The HSS score was improved from 70 points (range, 60-85 points) preoperatively to 91 points (range, 84-98 points) (p < 0.001) at the final follow-up. No extension lag, skin necrosis, quadriceps weakness, wound dehiscence or quadriceps tendon rupture occurred.
conclusionsMini-invasive quadricepsplasty-associated arthroscopic lysis and manipulation of the knee in flexion is simple and easy and should be considered as a legitimate treatment for arthrofibrosis of the knee.
