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

Objective: Based on the clinical data of patients with foot and ankle deformities in the QIN Sihe Orthopaedic Surgery Database, to analyze the characteristics and treatment strategies of foot and ankle deformities, and provide a basis for clinical decision-making. Methods: A total of 22 062 patients with foot and ankle deformities who received orthopedic surgery between May 25, 1978 and December 31, 2020 were searched in the QIN Sihe Orthopedic Surgery Database. The gender, age at operation, regional distribution, etiology, type of deformity, operation method, postoperative fixation method, and other information were collected. Results: Among the 22 062 patients, there were 13 046 males (59.13%) and 9 016 females (40.87%); the age at operation ranged from 1 to 77 years, with a median of 17 years, and 20 026 cases (90.77%) were aged 5 to 40 years. The patients came from 32 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the China and 5 countries including India and the United States, Conclusion: Male patients with foot and ankle deformities account for a large proportion, and the population distribution is mainly adolescents, with a wide distribution of regions, causes and diseases, and talipes equinovarus and varus foot are the main types of deformities. Foot and ankle deformities are often combined with deformities of other parts of the lower limb, which requires a holistic treatment concept. The application of foot soft tissue and bone surgery combined with Ilizarov external fixator and combined external fixators provides a guarantee for the correction of complex foot and ankle deformities.
