1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionPermanent dislocation of the patella (PDP) is a rare condition. In cases of PDP with tibiofemoral arthritis, total knee arthroplasty may be performed through a medial parapatellar approach with patellar realignment. In this article we present two cases of PDP with tibiofemoral osteoarthritis successfully treated via lateral approach TKA without any additional realignment procedure. We performed two total knee arthroplasties for PDP with lateral tibiofemoral arthritis through a lateral approach without any realignment procedure. Mobile bearing inserts were used to adjust rotational alignment. The patients showed improved functional outcomes (Japanese Orthopaedic Association Knee score and Oxford Knee Score), and improved range of motion. Three years postoperatively, the patellae remain stable without dislocation nor maltracking, maintaining a high functional score.

conclusionTo treat permanent dislocation of the patella with lateral knee osteoarthritis, TKA through a lateral approach have potential to be a new treatment option to achieve both a good outcome and repositioning of the patella.
