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

Since the recognition of MPFL as the primary soft-tissue restraint to lateral displacement of the patella, its reconstruction gained popularity either alone or in combination with other procedures. Today, although there are plenty of techniques described in the literature, there is no consensus regarding which one is better. MPFL reconstruction using an endobutton device has been proved to be a reliable option with satisfying clinical results. Single or dual tunnel can be done depending on surgeon's preference. For safer outcomes more randomized controlled trials should be done while authors should be more meticulous when it comes to surgical technique.
