Arthroscopically Assisted Double-Bundle Reconstruction Technique for Medial Patellofemoral Ligament.
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 1 paper.
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
Recurrent patellar dislocation, often caused by medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury, is commonly treated with MPFL reconstruction. Traditional open techniques are invasive, whereas arthroscopic single-bundle methods may not fully restore native ligament anatomy. This Technical Note presents an improved arthroscopic double-bundle MPFL reconstruction technique featuring (1) dual-anchor patellar fixation for anatomical restoration; (2) fluoroscopy-free femoral tunnel placement (12 mm distal and 6 mm posterior to adductor tubercle); and (3) real-time graft isometry testing to ensure optimal tension. The technique provides biomechanical stability while minimizing invasiveness. Although promising, long-term outcomes require further study, and the procedure demands surgical expertise.
