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

Subtalar arthroereises (STA) is a minimally invasive and reversible surgery to correct symptomatic flexible flatfoot (FFF) in children. Various techniques were described either applying expandable sinus tarsi implants or lateral calcaneus stop screws. Studies comparing the outcome of STA with different devices are rare. This retrospective single-center cohort study analyzes the results of STA using three different implants. 113 STA were performed in 73 consecutive patients (28 females). Mean age at surgery was 10.8 years (range 5-16). Mean follow-up was 29.0 months (range 1-111). In 21 feet the non-absorbable Kalix
