Analysis of spatial patellofemoral alignment using novel three-dimensional measurements based on weight-bearing cone-beam CT.

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
objectivesTo propose a reliable and standard 3D assessment method to analyze the effect of weight-bearing (WB) status on the location of patella and clarify the diagnostic performance of 3D parameters for recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) in WB and non-weight-bearing (NWB) conditions.
methodsSixty-five knees of RPD patients and 99 knees of controls were included. Eight landmarks, two lines and a coordinate system were defined on 3D bone models of knees based on weight-bearing CT and non-weight-bearing CT. The shift and tilt of patella in three orthogonal axes (X

conclusionsThe 3D measurement method reliably and comprehensively reflected the relative spatial position relationship of the patellofemoral joint. It can be applied to the 3D preoperative planning of patellofemoral procedures. In addition, patellofemoral evaluation under the WB condition was essential to detect subtle underlying risk factors for RPD, with axial lateral patellar tilt being the best predictor. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This 3D measurement method under weight-bearing conditions contributes to comprehensively describing the relative spatial position of the patellofemoral joint in a standardized way and can be applied to preoperative evaluation for recurrent patellar dislocation. KEY POINTS: Patellofemoral alignment is a 3D problem, and the accuracy of 2D parameters has been questioned. 3D measurement was reliable and comprehensively reflected relative spatial relationships of the patellofemoral joint. 3D measurements under weight-bearing condition help preoperative evaluation for RPD.
