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

objectiveThe objective of this technique is the treatment a severe hallux rigidus deformity by reorientation of an elevated first metatarsal using arthrodesis of the first tarsometatarsal joint and performing a one-step transplantation of an osteochondral graft, which is harvested from the first cuneiform, to the head of the first metatarsal bone. INDICATIONS: Severe arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP) stage 3 and 4 in the Vanore classification. CONTRAINDICATIONS: General contraindications for a foot surgery; ankylosis of MTP joint; severe arthritis of the sesamoid joint; osteonecrosis; short first metatarsal; previous infection in the metatarsophalangeal joint; large cysts at the head of the first metatarsal. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: The first step is the preparation of the metatarsophalangeal and the first tarsometatarsal joint. After mobilizing the first metatarsal in a medioplantar direction, a cartilage-bone cylinder is removed from the articular surface of the medial cuneiform using special osteochondral autograft transfer system (OATS) instruments (Small Joint OATS, Arthrex medical instruments GmbH, Munich, Germany). This is followed by the arthrodesis of the first tarsometatarsal joint with reorientation of the position of the first metatarsal bone. Then the removed osteochondral cylinder is implanted into the articular surface of the first metatarsal head. After that the capsule is closed and the skin sutured. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Postoperative management is guided mainly by the requirements of the first tarsometatarsal arthrodesis. When a plantar plate is used pain orientated full weightbearing is allowed in a postoperative shoe with a stiffened sole for 6-8 weeks. Physiotherapy is prescribed to exercise the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

resultsIn the study, 5 patients were treated with the method described in the years 2011-2012 and were followed up for a period of 2 years. All of these patients were subjectively satisfied with the outcome of the operation. There were no relevant surgery-associated complications.
