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

Acute avulsion fracture of the base of the first metatarsal is a rare occurrence, caused by an eccentric contraction of the peroneus longus tendon insertion. A number of case reports have been published outlining various treatment strategies for treating this rare injury. Management plans range from conservative to operative options and include both acute and delayed operative treatments.We present our operative management strategy of an acute avulsion fracture of the base of the first metatarsal. It includes a step-by-step approach including intraoperative clinical photographs and intraoperative image intensifier images. We explain the rationale behind our operative approach and provide insight on the importance of recognising and treating this injury. Initially, this avulsion fracture might seem innocuous but if left untreated may result in disabling functional foot problems.
