Arthroscopic Stabilization of Unstable Os Subfibulare.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Os subfibulare is an ossicle at the tip of the lateral malleolus. The ossicle is sometimes symptomatic and presents with local pain or lateral ankle instability. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of arthroscopic stabilization of the os subfibulare. It is indicated for symptomatic mechanical lateral ankle instability resulting from an unstable os subfibulare. The technique has the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, evaluation and treatment of concomitant ankle pathology, and preservation of integrity of the anterior talofibular ligament.
