Lateral patellar retinaculum hypertrophy on magnetic resonance imaging predicts patellar subluxation in femoral trochlear dysplasia.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 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
Purpose: To explore the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and lateral patellar retinaculum (LPR) in femoral trochlear dysplasia (FTD) and assess their utility in predicting patellar subluxation (PS). Methods: Eighty patients with patellofemoral pain (30 controls, 32 FTD, 18 FTD + PS) underwent 3.0 T MRI. Axial T2-weighted images were used to measure MPFL/LPR thickness and cross-sectional area (CSA) at 5, 10 and 15 mm from the patellar attachment. Results: Significant differences in MPFL and LPR thickness and CAS existed among groups (all Conclusions: LPR thickness and CSA-particularly from patellar attachment-represent potential predictive indicators for PS in FTD. Level of Evidence: Level III.
