Risk factors and treatment rationale for patellofemoral instability in the pediatric population.
Review in Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Patellofemoral instability (PFI) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems in physically active children and young adults. PFI may significantly limit physical activity and increase the risk of developing arthritis long term. Identification and appropriate management of PFI is crucial in preventing long-term sequelae in the pediatric population. The purpose of this article is to review current concepts in PFI in young patients, focusing on epidemiology, risk factors, and treatment rationale. Key Concepts: 1)Patella femoral instability (PFI) is most common in young, physically active female patients with predominance during adolescence between the ages of 13 and 18.2)Non-contact sports injuries are the most common mechanism of PFI injuries.3)Treatment of PFI involves non-operative and operative management with the goal of patellofemoral joint stability and high functionality.4)Surgical management is indicated for recurrent PFI. For first-time dislocation, selection of operative management depends on presence of risk factors for recurrent instability, such as trochlea dysplasia, patella alta, ligamentous laxity, and age as well as the presence of osteochondral injury.
