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

The Anterior Tibialis is the most important muscle in ankle dorsiflexion. The anterior tibialis tendon (ATT)'s rupture is an infrequent condition which can be both traumatic and spontaneous. Clinic is poor and it is necessary to confirm the suspect by US or MRI. The reported case refers to a 40 years old man who had a direct trauma at ankle and midfoot which was originally conservatively treated for an ankle sprain. Three months later he returned with pain, swelling and paresthesia. MRI was performed showing a neoformation in the contest of ATT's rupture. The patient underwent open excisional biopsy which was diagnostic for hypertrofic fibrosis. After two weeks, the symptoms were completely decreased and patient didn't want to undergo surgery for tendon reconstruction because he had no limitation in daily activity life.
