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

backgroundAnkle and hindfoot deformities as well as degenerative changes are often found in patients with rheumatological diseases. They often suffer from severe pain and complain of increasing immobility. Corrective procedures with ankle or hindfoot arthrodesis are promising options.

objectivesThis article presents epidemiological data and describes the clinical aspects, diagnostics and treatment options for patients with ankle and hindfoot osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe retrospective results of 56 patients after ankle or hindfoot arthrodesis are presented.

resultsAfter an average follow-up of 52 months the majority of results were good or excellent with relief of pain and reconstruction of the function of the foot.

conclusionAnkle or hindfoot arthrodesis represents a promising option for patients with severe osteoarthritis and can safeguard patients from increasing immobility.
