Long-term results of subtalar arthroereisis for the treatment of symptomatic flexible flatfoot in children: an average fifteen year follow-up study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aim of the studyThe aim of this study is to report the long-term outcomes of a homogenous series of patients who underwent subtalar arthroereisis (STA) for the treatment of symptomatic flexible flatfoot (FFF).
methodsThirty-four pediatric patients who underwent STA with a bioabsorbable implant were enrolled and radiographic measurements, clinical outcomes, and patients' satisfaction were evaluated.
resultsAt a mean 180 months follow-up, radiographic measurements showed significant improvement. A physiological footprint and a proper hindfoot alignment were shown in more than 70% of patients. Mean AOFAS score was 90.4 ± 9.2 (72-100), mean SF-12 was 44.7 with 30 out of 34 patients (88.2%) satisfied with the procedure.
conclusionSTA with a bioabsorbable implant showed satisfactory long-term results. Based on the data subgroup analysis, nine to 11.5 years for female and nine to 13.5 years for male appeared to be the most appropriate age for surgery.
