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

The proximal medial femoral patellar complex is the main medial stabilizer of the patella. It is formed by the medial patellofemoral ligament and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament. We present a double-bundle medial patellofemoral complex reconstruction technique using a graft from the first layer of the quadriceps tendon, which enables fixation at different degrees of knee flexion and therefore also different lengths of the reconstructed medial patellofemoral ligament and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament, imitating the native anatomy and biomechanics of the medial femoral patellar complex with a single incision that allows harvesting of the graft and its fixation in the patella and the quadriceps tendon.
