Patellar Fracture Fixation With Cannulated Compression Screws and FiberTape Cerclage.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Transverse patella fractures with loss of knee extensor mechanism function are a common orthopaedic injury requiring operative fixation. Current accepted surgical options for noncomminuted transverse fractures include open reduction with tension band wiring. Although these procedures result in good clinical outcomes and fracture healing, symptomatic hardware from the historically used metal implants is very common. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a technique for treatment of transverse patellar fractures using cannulated compression screws with tensioned high-resistance suture tape functioning as the tension band. This technique provides effective, reproducible fracture fixation while minimizing symptomatic hardware, failure, and reoperation.
