Plethora of Traumatic Lesions of Bilateral Knee Extensor Mechanism in Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Injuries to the quadriceps extensor mechanism are rare in patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). To the best of our knowledge, non-union of the patella in OI, either as an isolated problem or in combination with an acute fracture, has not been previously reported. Case report: We describe how we surgically approached both the fracture and the non-union simultaneously. The surgical technique and steps are described in detail. Post-operative course was uneventful and the outcome was favorable, with full return of function for the patient. Conclusion: A review of various knee extensor mechanism injuries in OI is described as illustrated in a single patient. The unusual simultaneous surgical treatment of a non-union and an acute fracture in the same patella shows that despite the severely compromised bone in this rare bone disease the bone still has a capacity to heal with a functional outcome.
