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

backgroundTotal ankle arthroplasty is increasingly used as a treatment for end stage ankle arthropathy. The aim of this study was to report the mid-term clinical function and survival results of Ceramic Coated Implant (CCI) ankle replacements and assess the association between the alignment of the CCI total ankle replacements and early functional outcome and complication incidence.

methodsData of 61 patients, who received 65 CCI implants between 2010 and 2016, were obtained from a prospectively documented database. Mean follow-up time was 85.2 months (range 27-99 months). Clinical function was assessed with AOFAS questionnaire and passive range of motion (ROM). Survival analysis and elaborate radiographic analysis was performed. Furthermore, complications and reoperations were recorded for all patients.

resultsProgression in ROM was most seen in the first 10 months from 21.8 degrees of passive range of motion preoperative to 27.6 degrees postoperative (p < 0.001), while the mean AOFAS gradually increased during follow-up postoperative from a mean of 40.9 points preoperative to an average of 82.5 but shows a small decline towards the end of follow-up (p < 0.001). During follow-up we recorded 8 failures (12.3%) resulting in a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of 87.7% with a median follow-up of 85.2 months.

conclusionWe observed excellent clinical results and survival after TAA with the CCI implant with only a low mid-term complication rate. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, prospective cohort study.
