Medial Patellotibial Ligament Reconstruction in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients With Patellofemoral Instability.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Recent literature trends toward early surgical intervention for optimal treatment of patellofemoral instability, typically involving medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. Medial patellotibial ligament (MPTL) reconstruction is an adjunctive procedure with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, given its role as an additional restraint to patellar translation during knee flexion. The purpose of this Technical Note is to demonstrate the preferred MPTL reconstruction technique in pediatric and adolescent patients at this institution, which mimics an anatomic approach in which the tibial portion of the MPTL graft is secured to the epiphysis.
