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

Ankle sprains are the most common lower extremity injuries associated with sports activity. Although ligament repair techniques are popular, reconstruction methods using free tendons are considered when the ligament remnant is insufficiently strong, when high-demand athletes sustain repeat ankle sprains, or in revision cases after repair. Recently, some arthroscopic reconstruction techniques have been reported. The distal fibular end is thin; therefore, surgeons must be careful while drilling the fibular tunnel. This report indicates the safe creation method of an anatomical fibular tunnel during anatomical arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament. This also provides a stronger reconstruction using a 2-strand tendon graft for the anterior talofibular ligament substitute, which is thought to have less risk for postoperative graft failure.
