Double-Row Suture Anchor Fixation for Inferior Pole Patella Fracture: A Novel Technique.
Article in Cureus, 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
Inferior pole patella fractures are challenging to treat due to small, comminuted fragments and the high tensile forces generated by the extensor mechanism. Conventional surgical fixation techniques are associated with implant irritation, migration, hardware failure, and the need for secondary procedures. This case report describes a novel double-row suture anchor fixation technique with suture tape augmentation for treating an inferior pole patella fracture. An 80-year-old patient with a displaced comminuted inferior pole fracture underwent surgical fixation using obliquely inserted double-row suture anchors and a supplementary figure-of-eight tension-band construct. Early union, good reduction, and restoration of knee range of motion were achieved without complications. This technique provided stable fixation, minimized soft-tissue irritation, and required minimal intraoperative fluoroscopy. The described method represents a reliable and reproducible alternative to conventional metallic fixation, particularly in osteoporotic bone.
