Statistical shape modeling of the talocrural joint using a hybrid multi-articulation joint approach.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Historically, conventional radiographs have been the primary tool to morphometrically evaluate the talocrural joint, which is comprised of the distal tibia, distal fibula, and proximal talus. More recently, high-resolution volumetric imaging, including computed tomography (CT), has enabled the generation of three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of the talocrural joint. Weightbearing cone-beam CT (WBCT) technology provides additional benefit to assess 3D spatial relationships and joint congruency while the patient is load bearing. In this study we applied statistical shape modeling, a computational morphometrics technique, to objectively quantify anatomical variation, joint level coverage, joint space distance, and congruency at the talocrural joint. Shape models were developed from segmented WBCT images and included the distal tibia, distal fibula, and full talus. Key anatomical variation across subjects included the fibular notch on the tibia, talar trochlea sagittal plane rate of curvature, tibial plafond curvature with medial malleolus prominence, and changes in the fibular shaft diameter. The shape analysis also revealed a highly congruent talocrural joint with minimal inter-individual morphometric differences at the articular regions. These data are helpful to improve understanding of ankle joint pathologies and to guide refinement of operative treatments.
