Arthroscopic Arthrodesis of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint in Hallux Varus.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Hallux varus deformity most commonly occurs as a complication of bunion surgery. Surgical option depends on the underlying cause, flexibility of the deformity, and presence of osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Joint-preserving surgery including medial soft tissue release, metatarsal osteotomy, and tendon transfer can be considered in flexible deformity without degeneration of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. First metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis is indicated in cases of inflammatory arthritis, avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, neuromuscular disorder, or failed previous hallux varus corrective surgery. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the technique of arthroscopic arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint to correct hallux varus deformity. It has the potential advantages of less surgical trauma, preservation of blood supply, less postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results.
