Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy With Anteriorization and Distalization for Treatment of Patellar Instability With Patella Alta.
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 6 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
Patellofemoral instability is a common cause of knee pain that can lead to long-standing pain, chondral injury, recurrent dislocations, and degenerative changes if not treated appropriately. Tibial tubercle osteotomy is indicated when there is anatomy predisposing to patellar maltracking and instability, namely abnormal patellar height or tibial tubercle location. In this Technical Note, we describe a technique for tibial tubercle anteriorization and distalization as part of the overall treatment algorithm for patellar instability with associated patella alta. This method of tibial tubercle osteotomy reliably produces anterior and distal translation of the patella to correct patellar height and decrease contact pressure across the patellofemoral joint.
