Decreasing the Abnormal Internally Rotated Talus After Lateral Ankle Stabilization Surgery.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIncreased internal rotation of the talus has been found in patients with mechanical ankle instability (MAI). PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate and compare the talar rotation position before and after lateral ankle lateral stabilization surgery in patients with MAI. We hypothesized that the abnormal internal talus rotation in patients with MAI will decrease after surgery for ankle lateral instability and that there will be no significant difference in internal talus rotation between the ligament repair and reconstruction groups. STUDY
designCase-control study; Level of evidence, 3.
methodsWe retrospectively studied 56 patients with MAI who underwent ankle lateral stabilization surgery after arthroscopic evaluation (repair, 36 cases; reconstruction, 20 cases). Before and after the operation, magnetic resonance images of all the participants were reviewed. The rotated position of the talus was measured and calculated by the Malleolar Talus Index at the magnetic resonance axial plane.
resultsThe internal rotation of the talus decreased significantly after ankle lateral stabilization surgery in patients with MAI as compared with before surgery (mean ± SD, 83.3° ± 3.3° vs 86.7° ± 3.9°;
conclusionAbnormal internal rotation of the talus in patients with MAI was decreased after ankle lateral stabilization surgery.
