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
A 75-year-old woman presented with progressive bilateral knee pain and severe genu valgum. She could walk utilizing braces and T-canes, with a 20° flexion contracture and 150° of maximum flexion. During knee flexion, the patella laterally dislocated. Radiographs demonstrated severe bilateral lateral tibiofemoral osteoarthritis and patellar dislocation. She underwent posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty without patellar reduction. After implantation, the knee range of motion was 0°-120°. Intraoperative findings revealed that the affected patella was too small, low articular cartilage volume resulted in the diagnosis of nail patella syndrome with the tetrad of nail dysplasia, patella dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and iliac horn. At the 5-year follow-up visit, she could walk without a brace and had a knee range of motion (10°-135°) with clinically favorable results.
