4-in-1 Quadricepsplasty for Fixed and Habitual Dislocation of Patella.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Fixed and habitual dislocations of patella represent the most severe forms of patellar instability and frequently require surgical intervention. Isolated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, which has been the cornerstone of treatment for episodic patellar dislocation, is inadequate to address such complex instability patterns. The purpose of this report is to describe the 4-in-1 quadricepsplasty technique for stabilization of fixed and habitual dislocation of patella. The 4 components of quadricepsplasty are lateral retinacular releases and lengthening, Roux-Goldthwait patellar tendon hemi-transfer, modified Insall's proximal "tube" realignment, and quadriceps slide-lengthening.
