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

Double-bundle medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with artificial ligaments is a minimally invasive surgical option for recurrent patellar dislocation. However, it carries a risk of over-tensioning, which may lead to restricted patellar mobility and anterior knee pain. Here, we describe a technique that combines an artificial ligament with a femoral suture-sliding anchor and double-tunnel patellar fixation. This construct enables staged tension adjustment, thereby mitigating the risk of over-tensioning. By introducing the adjustability of the artificial double-bundle graft at the patellar site, this method offers a reproducible means of fine-tuning graft tension and avoiding over-constraint in double-bundle artificial medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction.
