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
introductionPatellofemoral instability (PFI) is most prevalent in adolescents aged 10-17 years, yet disease-specific functional assessment tools validated for pediatric populations are limited. The Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument (BPII) 2.0 and the Norwich Patellar Instability (NPI) scores are disease-specific tools that have previously been validated in adults. The purpose of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the BPII 2.0 and NPI scores for Polish-speaking pediatric patients with PFI.
methodsThe Polish versions of the BPII 2.0 and NPI were developed following Beaton's cross-cultural adaptation guidelines. Patients aged 12-18 years with surgically treated recurrent patellofemoral joint instability completed the BPII 2.0, NPI, Anterior Knee Pain Scale (Kujala), Lysholm Knee Score, and Pedi-IKDC at a clinic visit and again 7-14 days later. The following psychometric properties were assessed: face validity, floor and ceiling effects, test-retest reliability (ICC), internal consistency (Cronbach's α), and construct validity (Spearman Correlation Coefficients).
resultsA total of 57 postoperative patients (19 males, 38 females; median age 16 years, range 12.25-18 years) participated 24-36 months after surgical stabilization. No floor or ceiling effects were observed. The test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC = 0.988 for BPII 2.0 (95% CI 0.977-0.994,
conclusionThe Polish versions of the BPII 2.0 and NPI scores demonstrated excellent reliability (ICC = 0.988 and 0.997, respectively), internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.95 and 0.93, respectively), and construct validity in Polish-speaking adolescent patients with surgically treated recurrent patellofemoral instability. This is the first validation of the NPI in an exclusively pediatric population. These tools are suitable for clinical assessment and research in this specific population. Limitations include the postoperative-only cohort and absence of structural validity assessment.
