Polyethylene Suture Augmentation of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament in Skeletally Immature Patients with Recurrent Patella Dislocation.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In skeletally immature patients with recurrent patella dislocation that needs operation, how to increase the medial stability of the patella effectively without disturbance of the epiphysial plate is of concern. Through evaluation of multiple techniques that designed to avoid injury to the epiphysial plate, we found that medial patellofemoral ligament augmentation with high-strength nonabsorbable sutures is feasible and effective. Thus, we would like to describe this technique, whose critical point is the correct location and creation of the 2 femoral tunnels. We consider the introduction of the current technique will provide reasonable choices when operation is needed in this special group of patients.
