Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in total ankle arthroplasty: a systematic review.
Synthesis in International orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundPatient-specific instrument (PSI) may theoretically make total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) more accurate. Several studies have reported the outcomes of PSI TAA. The aim of this study is to systematically review the literature of PSI TAA.
methodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically reviewed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for PSI TAA. The quality of the included studies was evaluated according to Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS).
resultNine articles were ultimately included in the systematic review. The implant position and function outcome of TAA was similar between PSI and SI. Prediction accuracy of implant size remained great difference. PSI can shorten the operative time and fluoroscopy time. The quality of current studies on PSI TAA is insufficient to produce high-level evidence.
conclusionPSI can get similar implant position and clinical outcome in TAA compared to SI, but current evidence is not strong enough to evaluate PSI TAA.
