Articular calcaneal fractures: open or minimally invasive surgery, when the medial wall reduction is obtained percutaneously from the lateral side.
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 8 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of intra-articular calcaneal fractures with medial column displacement treated with different surgical techniques, namely extensile lateral approach (ELA) or sinus tarsi approach (STA), combined with percutaneous medial reduction.
methodsNinety-six patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures who were subjected to ELA or STA (45 in STA group and 51 in ELA group) were retrospectively assessed. Reduction of the posterior facet, calcaneal body, Böhler's angle, and Gissane's angle were evaluated. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and visual analog scale (VAS). The complications, time to surgery, operative time, and blood loss were also assessed.
resultsIncidence of wound complications, post-operative blood drainage, and time to the operation were significantly different between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the recovery of calcaneal anatomy and articular surface between the two groups. Similarly, no difference was detected in Böhler's and Gissane's angles between ELA and STA groups (P > 0.05). Finally, there was no difference in AOFAS and VAS scores between the two groups at the final follow-up (P > 0.05).
conclusionSTA resulted in favourable radiological and clinical results with fewer wound complications and a shorter waiting time when compared to ELA. The percutaneous medial reduction technique is effective in reducing medial column displacement.
