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

Foot pain is one of the most common presenting complaints in orthopaedic clinical practice and can be attributed to a multitude of pathologies in the various osseous structures, ligaments, and tendons of the foot. The spring ligament complex (SLC) between the calcaneum and navicular supports the talus and plays a major role in the static stability of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Although calcific ligamentous enthesopathy around the ankle has been described in the literature, we report the first case of its kind affecting the SLC in a 51-year-old male with medial foot pain and no history of trauma. We highlight the role of radiological interventions in the diagnosis and effective management using ultrasound (US)-guided barbotage.
