The clinical outcomes of surgical treatment for chronic ankle instability by anatomical reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament with autologous half-bundle peroneal longus tendon: A retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The anterior talofibular ligament is the weakest and most vulnerable lateral ligament to be injured, and it can replace anatomical position through anatomical reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes after an autologous half-bundle peroneus longus tendon anatomical reconstruction. We conducted a retrospective analysis by enrolling 34 patients [22 male and 12 female, median age 21 (range 19-26) years] with anterior talofibular ligament injury from January 2018 to March 2020. All patients underwent a ligament anatomical reconstruction operation with autologous half-bundle peroneus longus tendon and followed up with an average time of 16.21 ± 3.20 (range 12-24) months, with no loss of patients to follow-up during the study period. The American Orthopedic Foot, Ankle Society Score (AOFAS), Visual Analogue Score (VAS), and Anterior Tibiotalar Translation were used to assess the curative effect. All the indexes were compared between the preoperative and at the final follow-up to discover the related statistical differences. The AOFAS score improved significantly from an average preoperative score of 56.91 ± 3.79 to 94.12 ± 2.51 at the final followed-up (
