1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Medial patellar instability (lateral patellofemoral ligament tear) is a rare condition which is commonly associated with lateral release for lateral patellar instability. LPFL is a lateral stabilizer of the patellofemoral joint. Reconstruction of LPFL is necessary to provide stability to the patella-femoral joint in patients with instability. We describe a novel technique of trans-osseous reconstruction of LPFL to gain stability and have better graft incorporation. A doubled peroneus longus graft is inserted into the patellar tunnel and secured with an endo button on the anteromedial aspect of the patella; the other end is then inserted into the insertional point on the femur and secured with an interference screw. This is an easy, novel, and reproducible technique which can be used to reconstruct LPFL.
