[Achilles tendon rupture-Part 2: treatment and rehabilitation].
Article in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Achilles tendon ruptures can be treated conservatively with a therapeutic shoe or an orthosis. Prospective randomized trials show comparable results to surgical treatment, with the right indications, correct performance and reasonable patient compliance. The target groups for conservative treatment are inactive patients and patients with substantial general risk factors. Surgical treatment of the Achilles tendon has changed over the decades. The direct open suture technique was replaced by minimally invasive procedures with percutaneous sutures. Chronic ruptures and/or defect situations that if untreated would lead to unstable healing, can be treated by an open reconstructive or minimally invasive procedure. Reconstructive techniques include turn-down flaps and aponeurotic reconstructive repair as well as a free tendon transfer using the flexor hallucis longus tendon or hamstrings. The gold standard for follow-up treatment is an early functional treatment.
