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

objectiveTibialis anterior transfer in shuttle technique using the tunnelator is an atraumatic surgical technique without injuring the extensor retinaculum. The technique allows for postoperative treatment with pain-adapted full weight-bearing for 6 weeks in a lower leg cast which is simplified compared to the current literature. INDICATIONS: Passive, correctable clubfoot recurrences in the event of muscular imbalance (overbalanced anterior tibial muscle). CONTRAINDICATIONS: Structural movement restrictions of the foot, muscular insufficiency of the anterior tibial muscle, infection or cancerous lesions in the surgical site. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Loosen the tibialis anterior muscle at the base of the first metatarsal. Guide the tendon proximally out of the extensor retinaculum, then shuttle the tendon below the retinaculum with the help of the "tunnelator" and transosseous fixation at the lateral cuneiform. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Pain-adapted full weight-bearing in a lower leg walking cast for 6 weeks postoperatively.

resultsIn the course of a retrospective study, the above-mentioned surgical procedure was carried out in 20 patients (total n = 26 surgeries) between 2013 and 2019. After a follow-up of 12 months, complete correction of the clubfoot relapse was found in 88.5% of cases. There were no general or specific surgical complications.
