1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 aim of this review is to outline risk factors, clinical findings, radiological work-up, and management of patellofemoral instability in the paediatric patient population. Patellofemoral instability is a common condition affecting both children and adolescents. In acute patellar dislocations, unless there is an accompanying osteochondral fracture, the treatment strategy is mostly nonoperative. However, patients at risk for repeat episodes should be defined and counselled. In recurrent dislocations, underlying pathoanatomic risk factors should be well defined, and surgical treatment should be planned accordingly.
