Assessment of the distribution of load on the lower limbs and balance before and after ankle arthrodesis with the Ilizarov method.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Ankle arthrodesis with the Ilizarov method is an accepted form of treatment of advanced degenerative changes of the ankle joint. Incorrect balance and load distribution on the lower limbs may result in pain and dysfunction. The aim of the study was to assess the change of balance and load distribution in lower extremities in patients before and after ankle arthrodesis with the Ilizarov method. Between 2013 and 2016, ankle arthrodesis using the Ilizarov method was performed on 21 patients. The evaluation of balance and percentage of load in each lower limb was performed before the surgery and during the follow-ups. The evaluation was performed using a Zebris pedobarographic platform. Before the surgery, the patients exhibited an average load of 41.9% of body weight in the affected limb, whereas the load in the healthy limb was 58.1%. The difference was statistically significant (p = 0,000031). In two years follow-up, the average load in the treated limbs was 48.19%, whereas the healthy limbs were subjected to an average load of 51.81%. In preoperative tests, the average path length of the center of gravity was 161.55 cm; postoperatively, the average path length of the center of gravity was 129.7 cm (p = 0.00003206). Preoperatively, the average area of the center of gravity was 18.85 cm
