Derotational Femoral Osteotomy for Treating Recurrent Patellar Dislocation in the Presence of Increased Femoral Anteversion: A Systematic Review.
Review 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 23 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
backgroundStudies on the clinical outcomes of derotational femoral osteotomy to treat recurrent patellar dislocation in the presence of increased femoral anteversion are limited. PURPOSE: To investigate the role of derotational femoral osteotomy in the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation in the presence of increased femoral anteversion. STUDY
designSystematic review; Level of evidence, 4.
methodsA systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) by searching the Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases through February 10, 2021. Included were studies of skeletally mature patients presenting with recurrent patellar dislocation and exhibiting increased femoral anteversion who subsequently underwent derotational femoral osteotomy. Methodological quality was assessed using the MINORS (Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies) score. The basic characteristics of each study were recorded and analyzed: characteristic information, radiological parameters, surgical techniques, patient-reported outcomes, and complications.
resultsA total of 6 studies with 163 patients (170 knees) were included. Sample sizes ranged from 7 to 66 patients, and the patients were predominantly women (range, 79%-100%). The mean age and follow-up ranges were 18 to 28 years and 16 to 44 months, respectively. The mean femoral anteversion decreased significantly from 34° preoperatively to 12° postoperatively. In studies reporting pre- and postoperative outcomes, significant improvements were found in the Lysholm score (from 24.8 to 44.1), Kujala score (from 15.8 to 41.9), International Knee Documentation Committee score (from 11.0 to 28.0), and visual analog scale for pain (from 2.0 to 3.7). All studies reported postoperative complications, giving an overall reported complication rate of 4.7%, but no redislocations occurred during the follow-up period.
conclusionFor recurrent patellar dislocation in the presence of increased femoral anteversion, combination treatment with derotational femoral osteotomy led to favorable clinical outcomes with a low redislocation rate. However, there was no consensus among researchers on the indications for derotational femoral osteotomy in the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation.
