Radiological features accompanying peroneus brevis split rupture revealed on magnetic resonance imaging - a cohort study.
Article in Journal of foot and ankle research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundPeroneal split tears are an underrated cause of ankle pain. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for diagnosis, split tears are challenging to identify. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of peroneus brevis split rupture with abnormalities of the superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR), anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), joint effusion, morphology of the malleolar groove, presence of the bone marrow oedema and prominent peroneal tuberculum.
methodsAnkle MRI cases were assessed by independent observers retrospectively in two groups: one with peroneus brevis split tears (n = 80) and one without (control group, n = 115). Two observers evaluated the soft tissue lesions, and three graded the bone lesions. Fisher's exact test and Pearson correlation were used for analysis. The Bonferroni-Holm method (B-H) was used to adjust for multiple comparisons.
resultsOnly bone marrow edema in the posterior part of the lateral malleolus was significantly (p < 0.05) more common in the split tear group after applying B-H. SPR total rupture was seen only in the experimental group. No differences in incidence of ATFL and CFL lesions or other SPR lesions were noticed (p < 0.05).
conclusionBone marrow edema in the posterior part of the lateral malleolus is associated with peroneus split tears on MRI.
