[Lateral ligament injuries].
Review in Der Unfallchirurg, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Due to the frequency and potentially complicated course distortion of the upper angle joint represents an important entity in the orthopedic patient clientele. The initial diagnosis includes a detailed anamnesis of the injury mechanism and an accurate clinical examination. To exclude bony, ligamentous and chondral lesions, besides basic diagnostics consisting of X‑rays and ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the most important tool. Lateral ankle ligament injuries are generally treated conservatively. After a short period consisting of immobilization of the affected ankle, early functional therapy with semi-rigid orthoses and proprioceptive exercises should be performed. If conservative therapy fails and thus chronic instability develops the indications for operative treatment are given. Meanwhile, surgical techniques have been established with satisfactory results. Inadequate rehabilitation could be identified as a major risk factor for re-injury, therefore phase-adapted aftercare has gained significant importance.
