Patient-reported functional outcomes and health-related quality of life following fractures of the talus.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionThe primary aim of this study was to investigate patient-reported outcomes following talar fractures. Secondary aims were to investigate health-related quality of life and to determine whether it is influenced by functional outcome. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study identified 56 talar fractures over eight years. Patients were contacted by post and the Olerud and Molander score (OMS), Manchester-Oxford Foot and Ankle scores (MOXFQ) and Euroqol-5D-3L collected.
resultsThe mean age was 35.2 years (range 13-78 years). There were four cases (7.1%) of avascular necrosis and one (1.8%) non-union occurred. Data from patient-reported outcome measures were available for 42 patients (75.0%) with a median follow-up of 67.1 months (range 23.2-111.8 months). Mean OMS was 60.0 (standard deviation ± 29.51) and median MOXFQ was 30.33 (interquartile range 47.13). Median Euroqol-5D-3L index was 0.74 (interquartile range 0.213) and median Euroqol-5D-3L visual analogue score was 80 (interquartile range 21). Older age, open fractures, multiple injuries and subsequent avascular necrosis were associated with worse patient-reported outcomes (
conclusionsOlder age, avascular necrosis and open fractures predict poorer functional outcomes following talar fractures. Patients with worse limb-specific functional outcomes are more likely to have a worse perception of health-related quality of life.
