Suture-Based Technique for Patellar Osteochondral Fractures Fixation Using an All-Absorbable Implant.

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
The osteochondral fractures (OCFs) of the patella are most common injuries of adolescence, usually associated with acute dislocation of patella. Although the acute cases are managed with a variety of options ranging from either conservative or removal or refixation, the latter seems to be the best option. While fixation using screws or bioabsorbable pins has been a standard practice, complications remain a concern. The use of suture fixation for treatment of such low-profile OCFs has gained popularity in recent times. However, each author has used the sutures in a random manner without a predefined methodology and guidelines. This Technical Note presents a step-by-step, standardized surgical technique using an implant, which offers a secure and bioresorbable fixation of acute patellar OCFs.
