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

objectiveTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of osteotomy adjacent to the articular surface of the metatarsal head combined with basal opening wedge osteotomy for severe hallux valgus.

methodsThe double osteotomy procedure was carried out in 56 patients (72 feet) with severe hallux valgus deformity, with an average follow-up of 25 months from March 2010 to February 2019. Hallux valgus angle (HVA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and distal articular set angle (DASA) were measured for all patients via weight-bearing anteroposterior (AP) X-ray images. In addition, the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale was used for evaluating the function of the hallux.

resultsThe HVA, IMA, and DMAA reduced from 49.30 ± 6.60, 19.33 ± 4.70, and 29.85 ± 10.96 to 13.19 ± 6.10, 5.97 ± 3.13, and 5.63 ± 3.44, respectively (P < 0.01). DASA decreased from 4.33 ± 2.34 to 4.08 ± 1.91 and did not show a statistically significant difference (P = 0.48). Among the 72 feet, 69 feet healed normally, and 3 feet had bone resorption at the osteotomy edges. No cases of bone sclerosis, bone necrosis, bone nonunion, or ankylosis were observed. On average, the AOFAS score improved from 34.66 ± 12.07 (preoperative) to 88.78 ± 5.73 (postoperative).

conclusionsThe proposed double osteotomy procedure can maintain the match metatarsophalangeal joints without ischemic necrosis of bones, and is demonstrated to be safe, effective, and feasible for correcting severe hallux valgus.
