Physeal-Sparing Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Medial Patellotibial Ligament Augmentation for Recurrent Patellar Instability.

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
Patellofemoral instability is a common issue that may result in recurrent dislocation of the patella. Surgical reconstruction of medial patella-stabilizing structures is often necessary to relieve symptoms in patients with recurrence. Most commonly, the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is reconstructed using graft tissue. Some surgeons prefer to further stabilize the repair with bony augmentation procedures for the distal femur or proximal tibia. These augmentation procedures-and often the MPFL reconstruction itself-do not respect the physis, making them an unfavorable choice in skeletally immature patients. The purpose of this article is to describe a physeal-sparing technique for MPFL reconstruction plus augmentation with physeal-sparing medial patellotibial ligament reconstruction.
