Patient-perceived outcomes after subtalar arthroereisis with bioabsorbable implants for flexible flatfoot in growing age: a 4-year follow-up study.

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.
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
purposeResults of subtalar arthroereisis in flexible flatfoot have been mainly reported in the literature using clinical or radiographical findings. However, the aim of this study is to evaluate the patient-perceived quality of life using self-reported questionnaires after subtalar arthroereisis using a bioabsorbable implant.
methodsItalian modified FFI and the SEFAS scores were submitted to a consecutive series of 173 patients who underwent surgical treatment for flatfoot deformity using a bioabsorbable endo-orthotic implant. Postoperative complication rates were assessed. Time needed to resume normal sports activities was recorded.
resultsMean population age was 11.2 years with slight variability between males and females. At a mean follow-up of 4 years, arthroereisis with bioabsorbable implants showed excellent results for the perception of the quality of life with an average result for FFI score of 4.5 and an average SEFAS score of 47.19. Time needed to resume sport activities was 4.7 months ± 0.2 with almost no difference between the groups. Four patients needed a second procedure for implant removal.
conclusionArthroereisis using a bioabsorbable implant offers good results in terms of satisfaction and quality of life with a negligible rate of failures and patient complaints based on self-reported questionnaires. The patient reported high degrees of satisfaction, and their quality of life was not compromised at all by the procedure.
