Implant Choice and Outcomes of the Sinus Tarsi Approach for Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures.
Article in Foot & ankle international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOperative fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures is considered the gold standard, for which multiple fixation methods are available. This study compares the (functional) outcome of screw fixation (SF), plate fixation (PF), and anatomical plate fixation (APF) via the sinus tarsi approach (STA).
methodsA total of 239 patients (265 fractured calcanei) who received surgical treatment of a displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture via STA between 2011 and 2022 were included.
resultsBöhler angle (BA) measured immediately postoperatively (BA post-OR) and the decrease in BA at 1 year (∆BA) differed significantly in favor of PF/APF compared with SF (BA post-OR: SF vs PF
conclusionThe results show that both PF and APF are favored over SF because of an improved correction of BA measured directly postoperatively, a lower secondary loss of BA and, for APF, a lower implant removal rate. There was no difference in the rate of surgical site infections, need for secondary arthrodesis, nor functional outcome scores between different implants using the STA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
