The Joystick Method: A Mini Open Technique for Repairing Patellar Osteochondral Fractures With Concomitant Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fixation of osteochondral fractures after patellar dislocation is typically done using an open approach due to the location of the defect. This is traditionally performed through a medial parapatellar arthrotomy to allow adequate visualization. By using the joystick method, adequate visualization is achieved with a smaller arthrotomy. Careful placement of the joystick in the planned anchor site of the medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction reduces the number of drill sites in the patella.
