Three-dimensional computed tomography analysis and functional results of calcaneal fractures treated by an intramedullary nail.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundIntramedullary calcaneal nailing is used to treat displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. The main goal of the study was to assess the reduction of tomography and secondary goals were patient functional scores and complication rates.
methodsThe functional outcome and restoration of the radiographic parameters were evaluated post-operatively, at three months, at one year, and at the last follow-up. The morphology of the posterior facet was evaluated post-operatively, at one year and at the last follow-up by CTs.
resultsTwenty-six patients were included. The mean follow-up was 2.8 years. The mean AOFAS-AHS was 79 at the last follow-up. The mean calcaneal height index and length rose respectively from 0.44 to 0.86 and 83 to 87 mm, and the width decreased from 50 to 46 mm.
conclusionThe radiographic parameters were restored. The AOFAS-AHS was comparable with other series. This study confirms the efficiency of this procedure with lower rate of complications.
