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

The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is the most frequently injured lateral ligament of the ankle, and up to 20% of patients with ankle sprains may require surgical intervention to correct chronic lateral ankle instability. There has been increased interest in arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair techniques to minimize postoperative pain and expedite recovery. Additionally, the use of suture-tape augmentation may allow for improved recovery in those with ATFL reconstruction. The goal of this Technical Note is to describe the steps to performing in-office needle arthroscopy using suture tape as an internal brace for an ATFL deficient ankle. We also include an accompanying discussion on indications and opportunities afforded by an in-office procedure over the traditional operating room suite.
