Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures Treated With Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus Transfer.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The Achilles tendon represents the most commonly ruptured tendon of the human body. Numerous studies have evaluated, throughout the years, management options regarding acute Achilles tendon rupture. Minimally invasive techniques have recently gained more popularity. Endoscopic flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer has been mainly described as a treatment method for neglected Achilles tendon ruptures. However, it has recently been described as an applicable treatment option for acute Achilles tendon ruptures as well. Nevertheless, this procedure is technically quite demanding and should be performed by experienced surgeons. This technical note thoroughly describes the endoscopic flexor hallucis longus transfer technique for acute Achilles tendon ruptures, focusing on the most important technical aspects, thus attempting to simplify and render this procedure more widely accepted.
