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

Treatment of the ankle joint with total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is an established and safe surgical treatment for osteoarthritis of the ankle. Modern implants have low revision rates and are superior to ankle arthrodesis in terms of patient-reported outcomes. The importance of primary TAA treatment of ankle fractures is unclear. There are currently no studies in the literature on this topic. In view of the increasing number of cases of unstable ankle fractures, especially in older patients and with increasing functional demands also in old age, it is important to consider TAA in the management of these fractures in the future. Clinical studies are necessary to evaluate the treatment of ankle fractures using TAA.
