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 ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is an established method of treating patellofemoral dislocation. On the basis of the results of recent anatomic studies of the patellar insertion of the MPFL, a trapezoid MPFL can be reconstructed using the autologous semitendinosus tendon. In addition, suture augmentation performed with a suspensory fixation device may help to increase fixation stability. This method may provide more stable patellar fixation with a bioabsorbable suture anchor. Moreover, this method allows anatomic positioning of the graft without extensive bone tunnel creation, which may preserve patellar bone stock. In this technique, the graft assumes a trident configuration-double-bundle hamstring tendon flanking a central high-strength suture tape, reminiscent of a 3-pronged spear. In this technical note, we describe a surgical technique for MPFL reconstruction using ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene suture tape-augmented hamstring graft for patellar dislocation.
