Use of a Superolateral Portal and 70° Arthroscope to Optimize Visualization of Patellofemoral Tracking and Osteochondral Lesions in Patients With Recurrent Patellar Instability.
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 3 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
Surgical treatment of patellofemoral instability and associated cartilaginous lesions can be technically challenging. Visualization of patellar tracking and underlying osteochondral lesions is paramount to operative success. To treat these conditions effectively, a comprehensive arthroscopic assessment of the patellofemoral joint as well as dynamic visualization of patella tracking must be achieved. Visualization of the patellofemoral joint-in particular, the articular cartilage of the patella and trochlea morphology-can be difficult when using traditional anteromedial or anterolateral portals and a 30° arthroscope lens. The technique described here uses an accessory superolateral portal and a 70° arthroscope to achieve significantly improved visualization of the patellofemoral articulation, in particular the chondral surfaces. This vantage point aids the surgeon in effectively evaluating patellar tracking, trochlea morphology, and importantly, osteochondral lesion location to help guide treatment algorithms in the patellofemoral joint.
