Lateral patellar compression syndrome

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
Background: Knee joint pain is very common in clinical practice, with a complex etiology in which osteoarthritis is the most frequent cause. Among the various types of osteoarthritis, tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (TFOA) is the most prevalent. Patients with lateral patellar compression syndrome (LPCS) also present with knee joint pain. This study aims to compare meniscal and articular cartilage injuries in patients with LPCS and those with TFOA. This study could provide insights into the clinical characteristics and radiological features that distinguish these two conditions. Methods: This study recruited 206 eligible patients from the Department of Sports Medicine at a hospital from March 2018 to February 2023. Patients were divided into two groups of 103: LPCS and TFOA. Magnetic resonance imaging was conducted using standardized protocols. Image analyses were undertaken by experienced radiologists to assess meniscal and cartilage injuries. Results: The mean age was 58.0±10.9 years in the LPCS group and 54.3±10.3 years in the TFOA group, with a significant difference between groups (P=0.01). Patients with LPCS exhibited a higher proportion of meniscal injuries (55.34% Conclusions: This study underscores the significant differences in meniscal and articular cartilage injuries between patients suffering from LPCS and patients with TFOA. The results highlight the importance of radiological features for accurate clinical differentiation and the need for 'tailored' treatment strategies.
