Custom-made total ankle arthroplasty with patient-specific instrumentation for severe bone loss conditions: a case series.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeManagement of bone loss around the ankle is a challenging condition. This retrospective study describes the design process, the surgical technique, and the preliminary results of custom-made total ankle arthroplasties (TAA) with patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for different severe bone loss conditions.
methodsConsecutive patients that underwent custom-made TAA for severe bone loss conditions were included. The primary outcome was to describe the implant design in relation to the bone defect. Moreover, pre-operative and final follow-up clinical scores were compared.
resultsSeven patients were included. Post-operative radiographs showed good correspondence between the pre-operative planning and the prosthesis alignment in all patients. Improvement in clinical scores was observed in all patients at the final follow-up. One patient developed a deep infection.
conclusionShort-term results reported herein are encouraging suggesting that custom-made TAA implants with PSI may represent an effective solution for ankle bone loss conditions.
