Reattachment of the superior peroneal retinaculum versus the bone block procedure for the treatment of recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation: two safe and effective techniques.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2019. 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
purposeClinical outcomes between reattachment of the superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR) and the bone block procedure were compared in this study to elucidate which procedure was safer and more effective.
methodsFrom 2012 to 2016, 25 patients with recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation underwent the bone block procedure (group A), and another 22 patients underwent reattachment of the SPR (group B). American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, Ankle Activity Score (AAS), time to return to sports activity, rate of return to sports level, range of motion (ROM) of the ankle, rate of recurrence, and overall patient satisfaction were collected to evaluate outcomes between the two groups.
resultsIn group A, 24 patients followed up at a mean period of 42.5 ± 16.7 months. The mean postoperative AOFAS score was 92.9 ± 3.9. The median time to return to sports activity was 6.0 months (IQR 4.3-6.0 months) with 19 patients (79.2%) returning to their previous sports level. Two patients experienced recurrent dislocation, and 22 patients (91.7%) were satisfied with the procedure. In group B, 20 patients followed up at a mean period of 35.8 ± 15.3 months. The mean postoperative AOFAS score was 95.0 ± 4.2. The median time to return to sports activity was 5.0 months (IQR 4.0-5.0 months) with 18 patients (90.0%) returning to their previous sports level. No recurrence was reported, and 18 patients (90.0%) were satisfied with the procedure. The time to return to sports activity in group B was significantly shorter than that in group A. There was no significant difference in complications or clinical outcomes between the two procedures.
conclusionBoth procedures offered satisfactory results for recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation with low rates of recurrence and complications. However, the time to return to sports activity after the reattachment of the SPR was shorter than that after the bone block procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective Comparative Study, Level III.
