A Review of the Lateral Patellofemoral Joint: Anatomy, Biomechanics, and Surgical Procedures.
Review in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The lateral patellofemoral joint soft tissues contain key structures that surround and balance the joint. These structures can affect joint tracking, stability, and force distribution. It is important to understand the lateral patellofemoral anatomy and biomechanics, and their relationship with patellofemoral instability, anterior knee pain, and osteoarthritis. Lateral-sided surgical procedures such as lateral release, lateral retinacular lengthening, and partial lateral patellar facetectomy can be useful in the treatment of such patellofemoral problems.
