Anterior Tibiotalar Fat Pad Involvement in Ankle Osteoarthritis: MRI Features in Patients 1 Year After a Lateral Ankle Sprain.

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
objectiveTo investigate the characteristics of the anterior tibiotalar fat pad (ATFP) in the ankle joint in a population of patients 1 year after an ankle sprain and its correlation with systemic factors and local articular pathology.
designThe study is a secondary analysis of an observational case-control study. We included 206 patients who were followed 6-12 months after ankle sprain. T1 MRI scans were assessed for signal intensity and area of ATFP by mapping the fat pad using dedicated imaging software (Mimics 18.0). Quantitative values of intensity and area were generated. Linear regression analysis was used to examine the association between both local and systemic factors and the ATFP. Variables with a
resultsThe final multivariate model showed a significant positive association between age (
conclusionThis study demonstrates a correlation between ATFP and both systemic factors and local pathology in the ankle joint.
