Arthroscopic modified Broström procedure achieved similar favorable short term outcomes to open procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability cases with generalized joint laxity.
Trial report in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05284188 (The Clinical Outcomes Comparing Open and Arthroscopic Modified Broström Operation in Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability and Generalized Joint Laxity), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeTo compare the short-term clinical outcomes of the open versus arthroscopic modified Broström procedure in generalized joint laxity (GJL) patients.
methodsFrom January 2018 to January 2020, 64 consecutive patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) and GJL (Beighton score ≥ 4) were prospectively enrolled into two groups: those who underwent the open modified Broström procedure (open group, n = 32) and those who underwent the arthroscopic modified Broström procedure (arthroscopic group, n = 32). Patients underwent an open or arthroscopic modified Broström procedure based on the time when they attended the clinic for consultation. All patients were followed-up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, and Karlsson score, and the radiographic outcomes were assessed using stress radiography at 24 months postoperatively. The time to return to work and the failure rate were also evaluated and compared.
resultsFollow-up was completed for 31 patients in the open group and 30 patients in the arthroscopic group. No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of demographic characteristics, Beighton score (6.2 ± 1.9 vs. 5.5 ± 1.4, n.s.), or duration of symptoms. There were no significant differences in the functional scores before surgery and at 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively or in the mean anterior translation of the talus and talar tilt angle on stress radiography at 24 months postoperatively between the open and arthroscopic groups. Compared to the open group, the arthroscopic group showed a significantly earlier return to work (6.8 ± 2.1 vs. 8.1 ± 2.4 weeks, p = 0.006). There was no significant difference in terms of the failure rate between the open and arthroscopic groups (16.1% vs. 23.3%, n.s.).
conclusionArthroscopic modified Broström procedure achieved similar short-term outcomes to the open procedure for GJL patients. Arthroscopic modified Broström procedure showed an earlier return to work than the open modified Broström procedure and was an alternative to open surgery for CLAI patients with GJL.
