[Knee arthroplasty in isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis : A critical review of the best options].
Review in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIsolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the knee joint that may cause disabling pain and functional limitations. When conservative therapy has failed, arthroplasty can significantly improve the quality of life and mobility of affected patients. In such cases, it is important to select the most suitable implant for the patient on an individual basis. This article discusses the decision-making process between patellofemoral arthroplasty, total knee replacement, and bicondylar replacement without patellar resurfacing. THERAPEUTIC OPTIONS: Patellofemoral arthroplasty is mainly used in younger patients and, if implanted correctly, can lead to good results and a delay in the need for total knee replacement. In older patients with isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis, total knee replacement is usually the preferred option due to its predictable good outcomes and a lower revision rate. In selected cases, particularly with severely thinned patella, retropatellar resurfacing should not be done.
