Amelioration in Ankle Pain and Improvement in Function After Total Knee Arthroplasty for Ipsilateral Knee and Ankle Osteoarthritis: A Report of Two Cases.

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
We report 2 cases of ipsilateral ankle and knee osteoarthritis (OA), with the chief complaint being chronic ankle and knee pain. In the first patient, the ankle pain was more severe than the knee pain, whereas the second patient had more severe pain in the knee than in the ankle. In both cases, varus malalignment of the knee and varus tilt of the ankle joint were detected on standing radiographs. The severity of OA was found to be grade 4 in the knee, according to the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system, and stage IIIa in the ankle, according to the modified Takakura ankle OA classification system. Navigation-assisted total knee arthroplasty was performed in both cases, leading to a decreased degree of varus malalignment in the knee and ankle, as well as a significantly improved patient-based outcome in both joints. Correction of malalignment of the ankle by total knee arthroplasty relieved the severe pain and restored optimal function in the ankle without surgical intervention.
