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 patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a commonly performed procedure to reestablish the checkrein to the lateral patellar translation in patients with recurrent patellofemoral instability. Graft tensioning is one of the most critical aspects of the procedure. Most surgical methods for MPFL reconstruction involve tensioning and securing the graft on the femoral side. In this article, we describe a technique for patellar-sided tensioning of the graft using all-suture anchors, which provides the surgeon with the ability to finely control graft tension with two independent graft limbs, while preserving patellar bone stock.
