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
purposeDerotational distal femoral osteotomy (DDFO) has good clinical outcomes for the treatment of the recurrent patellar dislocation combined with increased femoral anteversion angle (FAA). Currently, there is no uniform surgical technique. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of computer-aided design (CAD) combined 3D-printed osteotomy guide-assisted DDFO for treating these patients.
methodsIn a retrospective study of 36 patients with recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) from December 2017 to December 2020, all patients had increased FAA and underwent DDFO assisted by CAD combined with a 3D-printed osteotomy guide. Patients' radiological parameters were used to assess the correction of increased femoral torsion and preoperative and postoperative subjective scores were recorded to evaluate the knee function. Complications were recorded to determine the safety of the surgery.
resultA total of 36 knees were included in this study, with a mean follow-up time of 32.6 ± 8.1 months. The mean age of the patients was 24.9±4.4 years and all patients experienced patellar dislocation preoperatively with a mean of 5.7±3.2 times. The patients' femoral anteversion angle decreased from 35.03±3.05° preoperatively to 14.80±0.87°, and the TT-TG distance decreased from 20.03±1.27 mm preoperatively to 19.22±1.22 mm. The hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle and Insall-Salvatti index were not significantly different postoperatively compared to preoperatively. The knee function scores and visual analogue scale at the last follow-up were significantly improved compared to the preoperative scores. No major complications such as redislocation, nonunion, fixation or graft failure, or infection were observed in any patients.
conclusionComputer-aided design combined with 3D-printed osteotomy guide-assisted derotational distal femoral osteotomy could correct the increased anterior femoral torsion and demonstrate good results. There were no patients experienced re-dislocation during follow-up period and the overall complication rate is low.
