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
purposeThe present study aimed to evaluate the insertion site of the tibialis anterior tendon three-dimensionally.
methodsSeventy lower limbs were dissected. The tibialis anterior tendon was dissected to verify the insertion site to the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal bone. The three-dimensional (3D) territory of the tibialis anterior tendon insertion on the medial cuneiform and the first metatarsal bones was measured on a reconstructed 3D model.
resultsThe insertion pattern of the tibialis anterior tendon was classified into three types, the most common being Type I: a single tibialis anterior tendon dividing into two equal-sized bands to the medial cuneiform and base of the first metatarsal bone (57.1%, 40/70 of cases). The 3D territory of the tibialis anterior tendon was larger in the plantar aspect than in the medial side of both the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal bone. The width of the tendon inserted into the medial cuneiform was wider than that inserted into the first metatarsal bone.
conclusionThe tibialis anterior tendon was more commonly attached to the plantar part than the medial part in both the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal bone. This anatomical information will help surgeons perform anatomical reconstruction of the tibialis anterior tendon, reduce further tendon damage in the first metatarsocuneiform joint area and also provide valuable knowledge to improve understanding of hallux valgus pathogenesis.
