Operative Treatment Options for Patellofemoral Arthritis: An Expert Recommendation of the AGA Patellofemoral Committee.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe operative therapy of patellofemoral arthritis requires an individual approach depending on the underlying injury. However, the literature lacks recommendations for its course of action. PURPOSE: To generate an expert recommendation of therapy for different patellofemoral abnormalities in patients suffering from isolated patellofemoral arthritis. STUDY
designConsensus statement.
methodsTo generate recommendations, the AGA Patellofemoral Committee performed a consensus process using the Delphi method based on the available literature on isolated patellofemoral arthritis.
resultsIn most statements and recommendations, a high percentage of consensus could be found. However, also in the expert group of the AGA Patellofemoral Committee, some controversies on the treatment of patellofemoral arthritis exist.
conclusionThe operative therapy of isolated patellofemoral arthritis is a challenging topic that leads to controversial discussions, even in an expert group. With this consensus statement of the AGA Patellofemoral Committee, recommendations on different operative treatment options were able to be generated, which should be considered in clinical practice.
