Anatomical Components Associated With Increased Tibial Tuberosity-Trochlear Groove Distance.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Increased tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance is an important indicator of medial tibial tubercle transfer in the surgical management of lateral patellar dislocation (LPD). Changes to TT-TG distance are determined by a combination of several anatomical factors. Purpose: To (1) determine the anatomical components related to increased TT-TG distance and (2) quantify the contribution of each to identify the most prominent component. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included were 80 patients with recurrent LPD and 80 age- and body mass index-matched controls. The 2 groups were compared in TT-TG distance and its related anatomical components: tibial tubercle lateralization (TTL), trochlear groove medialization, femoral anteversion, tibiofemoral rotation (TFR), tibial torsion, and mechanical axis deviation (MAD). The Pearson correlation coefficient ( Results: The LPD and control groups differed significantly in TT-TG distance, TTL, TFR, and MAD ( Conclusion: TTL, TFR, and MAD were the main independent anatomical components associated with increased TT-TG distance, with the most prominent component being TFR. The association of TT-TG distance to each component analyzed in our study may help guide surgical planning.
