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: Reproducing the native patellar ridge high point while maximizing osseous coverage is important for the success of patellar replacement, but it cannot always be achieved simultaneously. This study aimed to thoroughly investigate the relationships and their influencing factors between the positions of the high point of patellar ridge (HPPR) and the morphology of the patellar resected surface. Methods: Four hundred seventy-three patients (265 men, 208 women) aged 18 to 50 years with knee injuries before arthroscopy were retrospectively collected for this cross-sectional study. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to construct 3D computer models of the patella and patellar cartilage. The morphometric characteristics of the patellar cut after virtual resection and the HPPR position relative to the patellar cut centre were measured and analyzed. Results: The medial displacements of the HPPR were positively correlated with Wiberg's classification and index (all P<0.001). The mean values of HPPR's medial displacements were 0.15 of the medial width of patellar cut, and 93.2% of all patella ranged from 0 to 0.3. When the implant's apex were placed at 0.15 of the medial width of patellar cut medialized, the proportion of implant placement errors within 1 mm of the native high point was 12% more in female patella (P=0.01), and 7% more in all patella (P=0.03) than 3 mm medialized. Conclusions: Wiberg's system can roughly predicted the medial-lateral position of the HPPR. The HPPR was mainly medially located at the 0.15 of the medial patellar width approximately, and 15% medialized of the implant's apex can better reproduce the native patellar high point than 3 mm medialized. The current results provide basic data for patellar implant selection, preoperative planning, and implant design to reproduce the native patellar high point better while maximizing osseous coverage for patellar resurfacing.
