1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe aim of our study was to perform a systematic review and best knowledge synthesis of the present literature concerning the familial association and epidemiological factors as risk factors for developing first-time and recurrent patella dislocation.

methodsThe study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO. EMBASE and PubMed were systematically searched on the 5th of May 2022. Studies investigating participants with genetic and epidemiological risk factors for the first time as well as recurrent patella dislocation were included. The records were screened, and data were extracted independently by two researchers supervised by a third independent assessor.

resultsA total of 6,649 records were screened, and 67 studies were included. Familial association was described as a risk factor for patella dislocation in 17 studies. One study found that participants with a family history of patella dislocation had a 3.7 higher risk for patella dislocation in the contralateral asymptomatic knee, and another study found a family history of PD in 9% of 74 participants. Eleven studies found an accumulation of patella dislocation across generations in specific families. Additionally, a range of genetic syndromes was associated with patella dislocation. Young age is a well-investigated risk factor for patella dislocation, but the results are inconsistent. Only five and eight studies investigated skeletal immaturity and gender as risk factors for patella dislocation, respectively.

conclusionThere may be a familial association with patella dislocation, but further investigation is necessary to determine the strength and etiology of the association. There is weak evidence that epidemiological risk factors, such as age, skeletal immaturity, gender, and BMI are risk factors for patella dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
