Ankle arthroplasty: A review and summary of results from joint registries and recent studies.
Article in EFORT open reviews, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Total ankle arthroplasty offers a reasonable alternative to ankle arthrodesis in carefully selected patients.It is debatable whether rheumatoid arthritis patients have better outcomes compared with those who have ankle arthroplasty for either primary osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthritis.Aseptic loosening and infection are the most common complications requiring revision.It is worth noting that some of the best survival rates are seen in the surgeon-designer case series.The uncemented mobile or fixed bearing prostheses have better outcomes compared with their older counterparts.There is no convincing evidence to suggest superiority of one design over another among the currently available prostheses.Ankle arthroplasty surgery has a steep learning curve; the prosthesis choice should be driven by the surgeon's training and experience.
