Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Patellar fractures are a relatively rare entity with an prevalence of 1%. Preoperative computed tomography has gained a significant role as a diagnostic tool for patellar fractures in recent years. It enables an exact assessment of the fracture and helps in the decision making for the correct treatment procedure. Therapeutically, the armamentarium was supplemented by angle stable plate fixation, which potentially enables a better reconstruction of the patella than the conventional tension band fixation. In this context, the results of angle stable plate fixation are promising in terms of functional outcome and lower complication rates. The proven tension band fixation using K‑wires or cannulated screws continues to be widespread in clinical practice and retains significance for simple patellar fractures. The use of polyethylene thread material instead of steel wire has shown advantages in biomechanical studies but the clinical application is more restrained.
