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
introductionHemophilic arthropathy can affect multiple joints including ankle. However, only one report has been published regarding both arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis with hemophilic arthropathy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: The patient was a 23-year-old man with hemophilia A and a 3-year history of recurrent hemarthrosis in both ankles. We undertook surgery to treat arthropathy. His left ankle was treated first and the right ankle 6 months later. In both ankles, the cartilage was worn and eburnated. The remaining cartilage was removed and more dimples were created to fuse the tibia and talus. The ankle was fixed using 3 cannulated screws. Postoperatively, the patient wore an immobilization cast with no weight-bearing for 2 weeks. Thereafter, weight-bearing was allowed and the cast was removed 4 weeks after surgery. DISCUSSION: At the 1-year follow-up, bony union was satisfactory, functional outcome was acceptable, and pain relief was good. The Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot ankle-hindfoot scale score increased from 24 preoperatively to 87 postoperatively.
conclusionWe report successful treatment with arthroscopic arthrodesis in a case of hemophilic arthropathy in both ankles.
