Effect of four combined procedures to achieve inframalleolar correction for advanced varus ankle arthritis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. 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
A man in his early 60s with Takakura stage IIIB varus ankle arthritis underwent four combined procedures (Dwyer's osteotomy with lateral displacement, superficial/deep deltoid ligament release, anterior talofibular ligament/calcaneofibular ligament reconstruction with suture tape augmentation and posterior tibial tendon lengthening). Decreased talar tilt and talar centre lateral shifting and improved hindfoot varus were observed 2 years postoperatively. Also, excellent clinical outcome could be achieved.
