Clinical outcomes of arthroscopic all-inside anterior talofibular ligament suture augmentation repair versus modified suture augmentation repair for chronic ankle instability patients.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 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
backgroundTo compare the clinical efficacies of arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament suture augmentation repair and modified suture augmentation repair in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI).
methodsFrom October 2019 to August 2020, 100 patients with CAI were enrolled after propensity score matching analysis and observed for two years. Among them, 50 underwent modified suture augmentation repair and the other 50 underwent suture augmentation repair. The clinical efficacies of CAI treatments were evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) clinical rating scale, visual analog scale (VAS), and anterior drawer test scores.
resultsThe postoperative AOFAS score of the modified suture augmentation repair group (83.8 ± 11.3) was significantly higher than that of the suture augmentation repair group (76.3 ± 11.3; P = 0.001). The VAS (P = 0.863) and anterior drawer test (P = 0.617) scores were not significantly different between the two treatment groups.
conclusionBoth the modified suture augmentation repair and suture augmentation repair demonstrated good clinical efficacies. The AOFAS score of the modified suture augmentation repair group was superior to that of the conventional suture augmentation repair group. Thus, modified suture augmentation repair is a feasible and practical surgical technique for CAI treatment.
