Influence of Anterior Talofibular Ligament Injury and Ankle Anterior Displacement on Symptoms in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
contextRepeated ankle sprains can lead to injuries, including those of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL); however, the extent to which these ligament injuries are associated with symptoms of chronic ankle instability (CAI) remains unclear.
objectiveTo examine the influence of ATFL injury and ankle anterior displacement on symptoms of CAI.
designCase-control study.
settingUniversity laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsA total of 122 of 426 college students who completed a questionnaire on the history of ankle sprain were enrolled in healthy (n = 34; 24 men, 10 women; age = 20.6 ± 0.5 years), coper (n = 49; 38 men, 11 women; age = 20.2 ± 1.2 years), and CAI groups (n = 39; 24 men, 15 women; age = 20.1 ± 1.1 years). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): One examiner measured the ATFL delineation using ultrasound and anterior ankle displacement using a capacitance-type sensor device. The Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool was applied to assess pain and perceived instability.
resultsThe ATFL was normal more frequently in the healthy group and abnormal more frequently in the CAI group (χ2 = 18.45, P < .001). Anterior ankle displacement was greater in the coper and CAI groups than in the healthy group (both, P < .001), but no difference was observed between the coper and CAI groups (P = .16). We observed no correlation between the anterior ankle displacement and Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool scores (r = -0.004, P = .71) in participants with previous ankle sprains.
conclusionsObservation of an abnormal ATFL on ultrasonography was associated with anterior displacement of the ankle joint. However, the influence of anterior ankle displacement due to damage to the ATFL on the pain and perceived instability in CAI was assumed to be small.
