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

Iatrogenic medial patellar instability is a rare complication after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, often resulting from inadvertent injury to the lateral patellofemoral complex. This Technical Note describes a procedure for medial patellar instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone patellar bone autograft harvest, after failed primary lateral patellofemoral ligament, reconstruction, and tibial tubercle distalization for patella alta. A revision procedure is performed using a hybrid allograft-autograft construct made up of a double-limbed semitendinosus allograft for lateral patellofemoral ligament reconstruction combined with an iliotibial band autograft to separately reconstruct the lateral patellotibial ligament and augment the lateral capsular imbrication. This Technical Note discusses the surgical technique, radiographic evaluation, and biomechanical considerations associated with revision lateral patellofemoral complex reconstruction.
