Electrothermal Denervation of Synovial and Capsular Tissue Does not Improve Postoperative Pain in Arthroscopic Debridement of Anterior Ankle Impingement-A Prospective Randomized Study.

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
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the added value of electrothermal denervation (ETD) in arthroscopic debridement of anterior ankle impingement. Methods: Between May 2019 and December 2020, 58 patients who received arthroscopic anterior decompression for the impingement of the anterior tibiotalar joint were randomized to Group A ( Results: Twenty-four hours after surgery, the pain level at rest using the VAS (worst 10 points) was 3.8 points on average (Group A: 3.7, Group B: 3.9). After 6 weeks, the mean VAS FA was 62.6 points, and ROM improved by an average of 9.1° (Group A: 9.8°, Group B: 8.6°; Conclusions: The hypothesis of pain reduction with the use of ETD was refuted. The addition of ETD as part of the arthroscopic debridement of the anterior ankle impingement did not show any significant superiority in terms of the collected scores (VAS-FA, FFI, and AOFAS) at 24 hours and 6 weeks after the surgery and resulted in a comparable length of stay in the hospital and incapacity to work. Level of Evidence: Level I, prospective cohort study.
