Patellar Tendon Lengthening: Rescue Procedure for Patella Baja.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Patella baja is a challenging pathologic condition that causes pain and functional restrictions and can even lead to premature osteoarthritis-even more so in cases of patella infera or cases associated with degeneration of the patellar tendon in which simple conservative treatment frequently is not resolutive. Several surgical options have been described for symptomatic patella baja: excision of the lower third of the patella, lengthening of the patellar tendon, reconstruction of the patellar tendon with allograft, and proximalization of the tibial tubercle. A combination of 2 or more of these treatments may be recommended in cases of significant patella baja. We present a simple and reproducible technique to address patella baja that combines a partial transposition of the tibial tubercle and patellar tendon lengthening using a subperiosteal patellar flap in continuity with the patellar tendon.
