Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction: A Surgical Technique to Dynamically Control Graft Tension.
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 1 paper.
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 medial patellofemoral ligament is an important patellar stabilizer and, when damaged, can lead to recurrent instability, cartilage injury, and debilitating pain among other conditions. In patients with continued patellar instability after failed nonoperative management, medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction often is recommended. A key step of the procedure is appropriate graft tensioning. Previously described techniques can help guide the surgeon, but few allow for adjustable tensioning after dynamic examination of patellar tracking to avoid over tensioning. This technique offers the ability to dynamically control graft tension with 2 independent graft limbs while also using knotless onlay type fixation, therefore decreasing the risk of over- or undertensioning and the complications that come with it.
