Simultaneous ossicle resection and lateral ligament repair give excellent clinical results with an early return to physical activity in pediatric and adolescent patients with chronic lateral ankle instability and os subfibulare.

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
purposeTo elucidate surgical outcomes in pediatric/adolescent patients with chronic lateral ankle instability and os subfibulare.
methodsA retrospective chart review was conducted of pediatric/adolescent patients with chronic lateral ankle instability and os subfibulare following simultaneous ossicle resection and lateral ligament repair using suture anchors with subsequent immediate full weightbearing and active range of motion exercises for the ankle in our department between 2013 and 2017. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by comparing preoperative and final follow-up American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale (AOFAS) and Karlsson-Peterson ankle function scores. Intervals between surgery and return to physical education in school were determined.
results31 feet of 15 male and 16 female patients were examined. Mean postoperative follow-up duration was 40.7 ± 12.7 (range 24-66) months. Mean AOFAS score increased significantly from 66.3 ± 2.5 (range 62-77) preoperatively to 96.5 ± 4.9 (range 87-100) at final follow-up (p < 0.001). Mean Karlsson-Peterson score increased significantly from 51.7 ± 4.0 (range 47-70) preoperatively to 95.3 ± 6.7 (range 80-100) at final follow-up (p < 0.001). Mean interval between surgery and return to physical education in school was 11.4 ± 1.6 (range 10-18) weeks.
conclusionSimultaneous ossicle resection and lateral ligament repair using suture anchors with subsequent immediate full weightbearing and active ankle range of motion exercises may give excellent clinical outcomes with early return to physical activity for chronic lateral ankle instability with os subfibulare in pediatric/adolescent patients desiring an early return to physical activity. Level of evidence III.
