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

Antecedent trauma is a major risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis of the ankle. Chronic inflammatory diseases, osteonecrosis and idiopathic arthritis are further important causes for ankle joint degeneration. Joint fusion represents the classic operative treatment of symptomatic ankle arthritis. The first attempts in total ankle replacement in the early 1970s led to high complication and revision rates. It was not until modern prosthesis designs respected the complex biomechanical conditions of the ankle joint that an alternative to joint fusion was available. Today a variety of models with specific advantages and disadvantages are available. Critical factors in ankle arthroplasty are proper patient selection and meticulous implantation.
