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

A variety of surgical procedures are utilized for management of ankle osteoarthritis. The most common etiology in patients with ankle osteoarthritis is post-traumatic often resulting in asymmetric ankle osteoarthritis with concomitant valgus or varus deformity. A substantial part of tibiotalar joint is often preserved, therefore, in appropriate patients, joint-preserving surgery holds the potential to be a superior treatment option than joint-sacrificing procedures including total ankle replacement or ankle arthrodesis. This review is designed to describe indications and contraindications for single-stage supramalleolar realignment surgery. Complications associated with this type of surgery and postoperative outcome are highlighted using recent literature.
