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

A 23-year-old female presented with traumatic loss of the left lateral femoral trochlea and painful patellofemoral instability. She underwent osteochondral allograft transplantation of her left lateral femoral trochlea. After one week, she was able to stand on her left leg, and at six months, she had good patellofemoral stability, was ambulating, and could complete all daily activities as needed. We present this novel case of patellofemoral instability due to traumatic loss of the lateral femoral trochlea treated with a lateral femoral trochlea osteochondral allograft. Our surgical intervention resolved the patient's instability, improved her pain, and preserved function in this case.
