Radiographic Evaluation of Pediatric Patients with Patellofemoral Instability.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to highlight the radiographic assessments of utility in the evaluation of a pediatric patient with patellofemoral instability to facilitate a thorough work-up. Understanding of these measures is useful in understanding evolving research in this field, providing accurate patient risk assessment, and appropriately directing surgical decision-making. RECENT
findingsRecent literature has broadened the radiographic characterization of the pediatric patellar instability and its anatomic risk factors. Knee MRI can inform the assessment of skeletal maturity and novel axial alignment measurements may enhance our identification of patients at increased risk of recurrent instability. Additional improvements have been made in the objective measurement and classification of trochlear dysplasia. Knee MRI-based skeletal age assessments may obviate the need for hand bone age assessments in growing children with patellofemoral instability. Novel objective measures exist in the evaluation of pediatric patellar instability both in the assessment of axial alignment and trochlear dysplasia. Future work should focus on how these measures can aid in guiding surgical decision-making.
