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

The chronic patellofemoral instability is a multifactorial disease, which is mostly congenital. Luxation of the patella is mainly atraumatic. Sole conservative treatment is often unsuccessful. Surgical treatment is needed in most cases and requires consideration of all pathologic changes of the patella-stabilizing anatomic structures. Rupture of the medial patellofemoral ligament is almost pathognomonic. In addition, the frontal mechanical axis, rotation of femur and tibia, the trochlear shape, the distance from the tibial tuberosity to the trochlear sulcus and the patellar height play an important role. Often, in addition to soft tissue reconstruction, the bony alignment needs to be corrected. Consideration of risk factors in both adult and adolescent patients is needed to avoid recurrent instability.
