Association Between Femoral Anteversion and Distal Femoral Morphology in Patients With Patellar Dislocation and Trochlear Dysplasia.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: Increased femoral anteversion (FA) is reportedly associated with patellar dislocation (PD) and trochlear dysplasia (TD), and the increase in FA may occur at different segments of the femur. In addition, TD is associated with dysplasia of the posterior femoral condyle. Among patients with PD, whether FA is greater with or without TD remains unclear. Purpose: To explore differences in FA and torsion distribution at different femoral sections among patients with PD and TD, patients with PD and no TD, and sex- and age-matched controls and to investigate the association between FA and distal femoral morphology. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This study involved 132 knees: 44 knees with PD and TD, 44 knees with PD but no TD, and 44 control knees. FA, proximal torsion (PT), middle torsion (MT), distal torsion (DT), and distal femoral morphology were measured. Differences were investigated by 1-way analysis of variance. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the association between FA and each parameter. Results: FA was significantly larger in the PD with TD group (25.4° ± 4.7°) than in the other groups (controls: 18.9° ± 5.6°; PD without TD: 19.9° ± 4.8°) ( Conclusion: The increased FA in knees with TD was due mainly to DT rather than PT or MT, which may provide a reference for choosing the optimal position for femoral derotation osteotomy.
