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

objectivesThis study aims to investigate whether resistive index (RI) and peak systolic velocity (PSV) are suitable parameters to determine if a clubfoot differs from feet of the normal population. PATIENTS AND

methodsFifty-four feet of 27 clubfoot patients (22 males, 5 females; mean age 30.4±16.3 months; range, 5 to 72 months) were included in this retrospective study conducted between December 2017 and January 2019. Twenty-seven feet were conservatively treated, 19 had surgical treatment, and eight feet were healthy in patients with unilateral clubfoot. In addition, 22 feet of 11 normal controls (6 males, 5 females; mean age 33.4±15.3 months; range, 15 to 60 months) were studied. Color Doppler ultrasonography examinations were performed to evaluate the three major arteries of the leg and foot: dorsalis pedis (dp), tibialis posterior (tp), and popliteal (pop). Color filling, flow direction, spectral analysis, velocity, and RI were examined.

resultsWith the exception of the dp artery RI, the PSV and RI values for all arteries differed significantly from those of the control group. There were no significant differences among the conservative, surgical, and healthy groups, while there were significant differences between each of the treated groups and the control group. Tibialis posterior artery PSV and pop artery RI were the best parameters to identify clubfoot and the cut-off points were 54 cm/second and 0.77, respectively.

conclusionPeak systolic velocity and RI may be accepted as important parameters for identification of clubfoot deformity. Tibialis posteriorartery PSV and pop artery RI are the best- detailed parameters for this examination.
