Conservative versus surgical management of pediatric bipartite patella with patellar dislocation: a single-center retrospective analysis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To evaluate clinical features and compare outcomes of conservative vs. surgical management in pediatric patients with congenital bipartite patella (BP) and patellar dislocation. Methods: A retrospective study included 42 children (≤16 years) with BP and patellar dislocation treated between January 2019 and January 2024. Patients received either conservative treatment ( Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable, except for a higher proportion of having suffering recurrent dislocations in the surgical group ( Conclusion: In pediatric BP with patellar dislocation, surgical management combining MPFL reconstruction and lateral retinacular release, with selective internal fixation, provides superior functional recovery, pain relief, and lower recurrence compared to conservative therapy, suggesting that surgical management may provide superior outcomes in selected pediatric patients.
