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

Pain syndromes of the Achilles tendon (AT) include both insertional and non-insertional tendinopathy, two distinct disorders with different underlying pathophysiologies and management options, characterized by pain, impaired performance and swelling in and around the tendon. This article gives an overview of the operative treatment of pain syndromes of the Achilles tendon, including both insertional tendinopathy of the AT and tendinopathy of the main body of the AT. New minimally invasive techniques for the management of this condition, including endoscopy are also reported.
