Intraoperative Foot Positioning During Percutaneous Calcaneal Fixation: A Technical Note.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Percutaneous screw fixation is a good modality for operative management of extra-articular and some intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum amenable to closed reduction. Tongue-type calcaneal fractures with a dislocated posterior facet are usually treated with percutaneous fixation. When treating calcaneal fractures with substantial soft tissue compromise, particularly open fractures, percutaneous reduction techniques are crucial. They also provide patients with local or systemic contraindications to open reduction with a therapeutic option. We describe the intraoperative positioning of the foot using a lithotomy stirrup during percutaneous fixation of the calcaneal fractures with minimum manipulation of the foot and C-arm and consistent imaging.
