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

Joint destruction necessitates tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTCA) in cases of clinical deficits that cannot be controlled conservatively, possibly leading to sepsis. We aimed to compare the underlying etiology of posttraumatic joint destruction and the outcomes after TTCA in patients with a septic or aseptic history. Between 2010 and 2022, 216 patients with TTCA were retrospectively enrolled (septic TTCA (S-TTCA) = 129; aseptic TTCA (A-TTCA) = 87). Patient demographics, etiology, Olerud and Molander Ankle Scores (OMASs), Foot Function Index (FFI-D) scores, and Short Form-12 Questionnaire (SF-12) scores were recorded. The mean follow-up period was 6.5 years. Tibial plafond and ankle fractures were the most common causes of sepsis. The mean OMAS was 43.0; the mean FFI-D was 76.7; and the mean SF-12 physical component summary score was 35.5. All the scores differed significantly between the groups (
