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

The purpose of this study was to develop the assessment of subtalar joint instability with chronic ankle instability (CAI) using ultrasonography. Forty-six patients with anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) abnormalities and a history of ankle sprain were divided into CAI (21.2 ± 5.9 y/o, 7 males and 17 females) and asymptomatic groups (21.0 ± 7.4 y/o, 9 males and 12 females) on the basis of subjective ankle instability assessed using the CAIT and the Ankle Instability Instrument Tool (AIIT). Twenty-six age-matched feet participated in a control group (18.9 ± 7.0 y/o, 9 males and 17 females). Ultrasound measurements of the width of the posterior subtalar joint facet were obtained at rest and maximum ankle inversion (subtalar joint excursion; STJE). The differences in STJE among the three groups were assessed by one-way ANOVA. The relationship between STJE and subjective ankle instability was assessed using Spearman's correlation tests. The STJE value was significantly greater in the CAI group (2.3 ± 0.8 mm) than in the asymptomatic (1.0 ±0.4 mm) and control groups (0.8 ±0.2 mm) (
