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

Background: Primary subtalar arthrodesis (PSTA) is a valid option in treating Sanders IV calcaneal fractures with few studies to assess its outcomes. Methods: Seventeen patients with Sanders IV calcaneal fractures were managed by open reduction and primary subtalar arthrodesis. Functional outcomes were measured by AOFAS-AHS and FAAM-ADL. We also documented time to return to work, union rate, wound complications and the need for second surgeries. Results: Fourteen patients were followed for two years. At final follow-up, the mean AOFAS-AHS score was 74.42 ± 1.95, while the mean FAAM- ADL score was 59.21 ± 1.6. Conclusion: PSTA is a valid option in treating these severe fractures. It may reduce the overall disability time.
