Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Allograft Using Double-Limb, All-Soft-Tissue Femoral Fixation and Transpatellar Cortical Anchor Fixation in Skeletally Immature Patients.
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 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
Medial patellofemoral complex reconstruction in skeletally immature patients presents unique challenges given that the native medial patellofemoral ligament origin is in close proximity to the distal femoral physis. Several techniques have previously been described for all-soft-tissue femoral fixation in medial patellofemoral complex reconstruction in skeletally immature patients, including using the medial epicondyle and adductor tubercle as anchor points. Our technique is a combined approach that uses a double-limb graft, with all-soft-tissue anchor points at both the medial epicondyle and adductor tubercle, and transpatellar cortical fixation without the use of intraosseous anchors. The described technique maximizes patellar fixation and isometrics of the reconstruction through use of a double-limb allograft with 2 patellar and femoral fixation points.
