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

objectiveThis retrospective analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of Split Tibialis Anterior Tendon Transfer (Split TATT) in treating residual idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) deformities.

methods15 patients (20 feet) with CTEV, with a mean age of 6.4 ± 3.2 years, initially treated with Ponseti casting, underwent Split TATT. Clinical and radiological evaluations, including Diméglio and Garceau scores, dorsiflexion, and X-ray measurements, were conducted preoperatively and post-operatively at a minimum 2-year follow-up.

resultsSignificant improvements were observed in Diméglio and Garceau scores. Dorsiflexion increased by an average of 3°, and radiological analysis revealed nuanced changes. Despite a weak Kappa coefficient, positive trends in dorsiflexion and Garceau scores were noted. Preoperative Garceau scores did not reliably predict postoperative results.

conclusionSplit TATT demonstrates promising results in improving muscular balance and functional outcomes in CTEV. While radiological changes are subtle, positive trends in clinical scores indicate meaningful outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV Retrospective study.
