Modified Grammont Soft-Tissue Distal Patellar Realignment and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction for Patellofemoral Instability in Pediatric Patients.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patellar dislocation is a relatively common pediatric injury, which often results in recurrent patellofemoral instability. An increased tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance predisposes to patellofemoral instability and can be corrected with a distal realignment procedure. Soft-tissue distal realignment procedures must be used in the pediatric population to avoid the risks of premature physeal closure associated with tibial tubercle osteotomies. Several soft-tissue distal realignment procedures have been described, with no consensus as to the optimal technique. When combined with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, distal realignment procedures can restore patellofemoral stability through the entire flexion arc. This article describes a modification of the Grammont distal patellar realignment procedure in conjunction with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for the management of pediatric patellofemoral instability.
