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

backgroundThe biomechanics of the hindfoot in ankle osteoarthritis (OA) are not yet fully understood. Here, we aimed to identify hindfoot motion in a gait analysis using a multi-segment foot model (MFM) according to ankle OA stage and the presence of subtalar compensation defined by hindfoot alignment.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records, plain radiographs, and gait MFM data of 54 ankles admitted to our hospital for the treatment of advanced ankle OA. Spatiotemporal gait parameters and three-dimensional motions of the hindfoot segment were analyzed according to sex, age, body mass index, Takakura classification, and the presence of subtalar compensation. Twenty ankles were categorized as compensated group, and 34 ankles as decompensated group.

resultsNo spatiotemporal gait parameters differed significantly according to the presence of subtalar compensation or ankle OA stage. Only normalized step width differed significantly (P = 0.028). Average hindfoot motion (decompensation vs. compensation) did not differ significantly between the sagittal and transverse planes. Graphing of the coronal movement of the hindfoot revealed collapsed curves in both groups that differed significantly. Compared with Takakura stages 3a, 3b, and 4, cases of more advanced stage 3b had a smaller sagittal range of motion than those of stage 3a (P = 0.028). Coronal movement of the hindfoot in cases of Takakura stage 3a/3b/4 showed a relatively flat pattern.

conclusionsThe spatiotemporal parameters were not affected by the hindfoot alignment resulting from subtalar compensation. The sagittal range of hindfoot motion decreased in patients with advanced ankle OA. Once disrupted, the coronal movement of the subtalar joint in ankle OA did not change regardless of ankle OA stage or hindfoot compensation state.
