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: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has become increasingly popular in the treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis in recent decades. However, there is limited evidence regarding the long-term clinical outcomes and complication rates of modern TAA implants. Methods: This study presents a follow-up on a previous cohort involving 78 patients (81 ankles) who underwent Salto Talaris fixed-bearing TAA to treat end-stage arthritis, with a mean postoperative follow-up of 5.2 years. The aim of this follow-up study was to assess the radiographic (33 patients, 35 ankles) and clinical (48 patients, 50 ankles) results from the original cohort at a mean of 10.7 years (range, 7.8-14 years). Results: At a mean of 10.7 years, the Kaplan-Meier estimated survivorship was 84.2% (95% CI, 71.9%-98.6%). For the patients reviewed, we did not find any change in patient-reported outcomes between an average 5- and 11-year follow-up. Measured total range of motion and plantarflexion did not change between 1 and 11 years, but dorsiflexion was measured as decreasing by an average of 4 degrees ( Conclusion: In this longer-term follow-up of a limited cohort, we found that Salto Talaris fixed-bearing TAA demonstrated good long-term survival with relatively low rates of revision or other complications. Patient-reported outcome and range of motion measures revealed good stability. Level of Evidence: Level III, therapeutic.
