Management of Checkrein Deformity.
Review in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Checkrein deformity is characterized by the dynamic status of the hallux, in which flexion deformity is aggravated by ankle dorsiflexion and relieved by ankle plantarflexion. In most cases, a checkrein deformity occurs secondary to trauma or following surgery. It has been suggested that the flexor hallucis longus tendon tethers or entraps scar tissue or fracture sites. Improvement with conservative treatment is difficult once the deformity has already become entrenched, and surgical management is usually required in severe cases. Various surgical options are available for the correction of checkrein deformities. It includes a simple release of adhesion at the fracture site; lengthening of the flexor hallucis longus by Z-plasty at the fracture site combined with the release of adhesion; lengthening of the flexor hallucis longus by Z-plasty at the midfoot, retromalleolar, or tarsal tunnel area; and flexor hallucis longus tenotomy with interphalangeal arthrodesis for recurrent cases. This review aimed to summarize the overall etiology, relevant anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment of checkrein deformities described in the literature.
