Clinical Results and MRI Evaluation of Patellar Osteochondral Fracture Fixation following Patellar Dislocation.
Article in BioMed research international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
aimThe aim of the study was to analyze the clinical results and MRI scans after transpatellar osteochondral fracture fixation following patellar dislocation.
methodsOur study group comprised 17 patients with patellar dislocation followed by osteochondral fracture of the articular surface of the patella. All patients underwent surgery where the fractured osteochondral fragments of the patella were attached using the transpatellar suture technique. The mean age at the time of surgery was 14.1 years, and the mean follow-up period was 7.5 years.
resultsThe results of the patellar compression test and the apprehension test were negative in all patients. The mean Lysholm and Kujala scores were 89.2 and 89.6, respectively. The MRI scan revealed healing of the fixed fragment and restoration of the articular surface in all patients. In 16 cases, subchondral bone of the fixed fragment area was described as irregular: its articular cartilage was narrowed and not homogenous. Progressive degenerative changes were observed in the patellofemoral joint at follow-up in three patients.
conclusionsBy fixing osteochondral fragments, the patellar articular surface can be restored. The MRI scans show that the cartilage in the reconstructed surface is narrowed after a mean 7.5-year follow-up.
