Minimally invasive surgery for hallux valgus: a systematic review of current surgical techniques.
Synthesis in International orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers, 5 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the available literature on minimally invasive surgical (MIS) treatment for hallux valgus and to provide an overview of the different surgical techniques.
methodsA systematic review of the literature available in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane database was performed including studies from January 2001 to 1 January 2018. The radiological outcomes (hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA)), complication rates, and clinical outcome scores were evaluated. The MINORS scale was used to assess the methodological quality of included articles.
resultsOf 278 reviewed articles, 23 met the inclusion criteria. The included studies reported on the results of 2279 procedures in 1762 patients. The surgical techniques were divided into five categories: the Bosch technique, MIS Chevron-Akin, Reverdin-Isham procedure, Endolog system, and techniques involving distal soft tissue release and fixation. Results regarding radiological correction, clinical outcomes, and complication rate varied widely.
conclusionsThe studies included were of too little level of evidence to allow for data pooling or meta-analysis. There were too few studies on each surgical technique category to assess whether one is more effective than the rest. However, there is some evidence that the Chevron and Akin showed the most potential for improvement of the HVA and the Endolog for the IMA. An overall complication rate of 13% was obtained among all included studies. Appropriately powered randomized controlled trials, utilizing validated outcome measures, blinded assessors, and long-term follow up are needed to assess the efficacy of MIS techniques.
