[Synthetic medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in the surgical management of patellar instability].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveRestoration of passive medial stability of the patella by reconstruction/augmentation of the medial patellofemoral ligament complex. INDICATIONS: Treatment of first-time patellar dislocation requiring surgery and recurrent dislocation as an isolated procedure or in combination with concomitant osseous intervention. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Patellofemoral pain without objective instability/dislocation of the patella; known material intolerance. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: A synthetic ligament is inserted in a V-shaped fashion into the second layer of the medial retinaculum via a 2-incision technique after soft tissue fixation in the area of the patellar medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC) and fixed at the femoral insertion using an interference screw. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Partial weight-bearing for 2-3 weeks as tolerated; active and passive exercises without restriction of range of motion; immediate exercises for quadriceps muscle control, and coordinative exercises as well as stabilization of the functional pelvis-leg axis after full weight-bearing is achieved.
resultsThe clinical results in the literature consistently show significant improvements in the patient-reported outcome measures and are so far-along with the biomechanical data-comparable with those of autologous tendon reconstruction.
