Arthroscopically Assisted, Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Fixation of a Patellar Fracture.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Operative fixation of a patellar fracture can be accomplished through a variety of techniques. However, drawbacks have been associated with many of these techniques, including painful hardware, poor skin healing due to bruising and swelling, inadequate cartilage reduction, and eventual post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Throughout the orthopaedic field, minimally invasive approaches have become popular. We describe an arthroscopically assisted method for ensuring fracture reduction intraoperatively and addressing associated defects while the patella is stabilized using a minimally invasive percutaneous fixation technique with screws and a tension band construct.
