Isolated Gastrocnemius Contraction and Gastroc Recession Surgery in Case of Planter Fasciitis: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: The current systematic and meta-static review aimed to analyze the correlation between isolated gastrocnemius contracture and plantar fasciitis and the effectiveness of gastroc recession surgery in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Methodology: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed to conduct this meta-analysis. A literature search was carried out on the following databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane databases with the appropriate medical subject headings (MeSH) to identify the eligible articles. Results: A total of 13 studies were included in this meta-analysis. In this study, there is a significant difference in chronic plantar fasciitis outcome when comparing experimental and control (RR: 0.02; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.05; Conclusion: In conclusion, the current systematic review and meta-analysis of gastrocnemius recession and proximal medial gastrocnemius release and other treatment measures for plantar fasciitis suggests that the improvement of ankle dorsiflexion, reduction in pain, and patient satisfaction are almost similar in all the treatment measures. Among the five treatment measures, gastrocnemius recession remains the best, followed by proximal medial gastrocnemius release.
