Reflections on Rotational Osteotomies around the Patellofemoral Joint.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Torsional abnormalities of the femur represent a significant risk factor for patellar instability or patellofemoral complaints. Although their clinical implication has been demonstrated, there is still a debate going on about different aspects. These include, especially, the various methods of measurements with a wide range of physiologic values, the indication or clear recommendation for surgical correction, and the site of the rotational osteotomy. Nevertheless, good subjective and objective functional results were reported after femoral rotational osteotomies. This is mostly not a review of the literature, but a collection of personal thoughts and observations.
