An evaluation of the results of locked plate osteosynthesis applied without the use of bone graft in Sanders type III and IV intra-articular calcaneus fractures.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeThe clinical and radiological results of locked plate osteosynthesis with an extensive lateral approach without bone graft in Sanders type III and IV intra-articular calcaneus fractures and the factors affecting these results were evaluated retrospectively.
methodsA total of 61 patients with Sanders type 3 and 4 calcaneus fractures who underwent a lateral approach with locked plate osteosynthesis were included in the study. The mean follow-up was 44.8 months.
resultsThe mean pre- and post-operative Gissane and Bohler's angles were 113.5° ± 13.9° and 106.7° ± 13.6° (p = 0.006) and 2.8° ± 14.1° and 19.6° ± 13.1° (p < 0.001), respectively. The mean post-operative AOFAS scores, SF-36, and Maryland were 80.5 ± 13.6 in type IIIAB, 89.4 ± 6.3 in IIIAC, and 82.4 ± 12.5 in IV; 58.6 ± 14.5 in type IIIAB, 60.3 ± 11.7 in IIIAC, and 58.0 ± 15.6 in IV; and 63.8 ± 7.2 in type IIIAB, 64.3 ± 7.1 in IIIAC, and 62.8 ± 11.7 in IV (p = 0.173, p = 0.932, p = 0.824, respectively). Wound problems were observed in 15 (28.6%) patients. Deep infection was not observed in any patient.
conclusionThe clinical results were similar in type III and IV intra-articular calcaneus fractures applied with locked plate osteosynthesis in an extensive lateral approach and without the use of bone graft. Intra-articular calcaneus fracture fixation with a lateral locked plate is an effective treatment method.
