1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeA medializing calcaneal osteotomy (MCO) is a surgical procedure frequently performed to correct an adult acquired flatfoot (AAFD) deformity. However, most studies are limited to a 2D analysis of 3D deformity. Therefore, the aim is to perform a 3D assessment of the hind- and midfoot alignment using a weightbearing CT (WBCT) preoperatively as well as postoperatively.

methodsEighteen patients with a mean age of 49.4 years (range 18-67) were prospectively included in a pre-post-study design. A MCO was performed and a WBCT was obtained pre- and postoperative. Images were converted into 3D models to compute linear and angular measurements, respectively, in millimeters (mm) and degrees (°), based on previously reported landmarks of the hind- and midfoot alignment. A regression analysis was performed between the displacement of a MCO and the obtained postoperative correction.

resultsThe mean 3D hindfoot angle improved significantly preoperative compared to postoperative (p < 0.001). This appeared according to a linear relation with the amount of medial translation in a MCO (R

conclusionThis study demonstrates an effective 3D correction of an AAFD by a MCO according to a linear relationship. The concomitant formula can be used to perform a preoperative planning. The novelty is the comparative 3D weightbearing CT assessment of both the computed hind- and midfoot alignment after a medializing calcaneus osteotomy. This could improve accuracy of the currently performed preoperative planning in clinical practice.
