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

objectiveThe heel fat pad (HFP) is a specialized soft tissue structure formed of adipose tissue that overlies the inferior and posterior aspect of the calcaneus and provides the cushioning effect of the heel. Lesions of the HFP are rare and can be a cause of debilitating heel pain that may often pose a challenge to clinicians. This study provides a series of lesions identified within the HFP. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A retrospective review of heel pad lesions over a 12 year period was conducted at our tertiary orthopaedic oncology centre. All lesions of the heel fat pad were included in the study. Plantar fasciitis was excluded.

resultsThere were 17 heel pad lesions identified, of which the majority (n = 15) were benign.

conclusionWe highlight a wide spectrum of pathologies that can occur in the HFP. Although rare, clinicians should be aware of these lesions, to initiate appropriate management.
