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

Deltoid ligament injuries account for 5.1% to 15.8% of ankle sprains and occur with concomitant lateral ankle sprains. The anterior tibiotalar ligament (ATTL), located within the deep layer of the deltoid ligament complex, connects the talus and the tibia on the medial side of the ankle and controls ankle eversion and rotation. If conservative treatment for chronic medial ankle instability after an ankle sprain fails, ATTL repair or reconstruction might be necessary. Arthroscopic reconstruction techniques of the lateral ankle ligaments recently have been reported. Here, we describe arthroscopic reconstruction of the ATTL using a free tendon graft (ARATTL). This technique is less invasive than other treatments and results in a more stable medial ankle joint.
