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

introductionThe talus is the second largest bone of the foot. It is fundamental to ensure normal ankle-foot movements as it connects the leg and the foot. Talar fractures are usually due to high energy traumas (road accidents, high level falls). They are not common as they account for 3-5% of ankle and foot fractures and 0.85% of all body fractures. However, talar fractures not correctly diagnosed and treated can lead to avascular necrosis of the astragalus, pseudoarthrosis, early osteoarthrisis and ankle instability, declining the quality of life of patients.

methodsA PubMed search was performed using the terms "talus" "talus AND radiology", "talar fractures", and "talar fractures classification", selecting articles published in the last 98 years. We selected articles about pre-treatment and post-surgery talar fractures diagnostic imaging. We also selected articles about talar fractures complications and traumatic talar dislocations. Case reports have not been included. AIM OF THE WORK: to describe radiological evaluations, classification systems, and biomechanical patterns involved in talar fractures. Also we will briefly describe talar fractures complications and treatment option and strategies.

conclusionsThis work suggests a radiological approach aimed to classify talar fractures and guide treatment strategies, improving patient outcomes.
