Arthroscopically reduced, irreducible patella dislocation.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Acute patella dislocations account for approximately 2%-3% of knee injuries and are therefore a relatively common presentation in the accident and emergency department. The majority of patella dislocations can be reduced with simple manoeuvres or even spontaneously and can be managed conservatively by bracing and rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to identify and review the main causes of the unique and unexpected event of irreducible patella dislocation and their characteristic presentations. Irreducible patella dislocations can happen but are very rare. Currently, a limited number of case reports are available, prompting for a need for research on this topic. This case study can shed light on the possible pathogenesis and pathognomonic features of irreducible patella dislocations and provide insight on the available therapeutic approaches.
