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

contextPatients with lateral ankle sprains (LASs) often have deficient patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at return to activity (RTA), potentially increasing risk for recurrent LAS and ankle pain. Additionally, applied care strategies are known to correct impairments, but their ability to mitigate risk for long-term consequences remains unknown.

objectiveTo determine if applied care strategies and PRO scores at RTA and 6 months after RTA predict recurrent LAS and ankle pain 12 months after an acute LAS.

designProspective cohort study.

settingOnline survey. PATIENTS OR OTHER

participantsWe enrolled 63 individuals within 1 week of sustaining an acute LAS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Participants completed online surveys about their health history and recent LAS. At RTA and 6 months after RTA, participants completed online surveys regarding demographics, applied care strategies, and PROs, including the Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI), Identification of Functional Ankle Instability, Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire, and Short Form-8 (SF8). At 12 months post-RTA, we asked participants if they sustained recurrent LASs. Chi-square analyses determined if recurrent LAS and ankle pain at 12 months were related to applied care strategies or ankle pain at RTA. Independent t tests compared demographics and PROs at RTA and 6 months between participants with and without a recurrent LAS or ankle pain at 12 months. Logistic regression and area under the receiver operating characteristic analyses determined if demographics, applied care strategies, ankle pain at RTA, and PRO scores at RTA and 6 months predicted recurrent LAS and ankle pain at 12 months.

resultsParticipants with a recurrent LAS had a lower walking boot use (P = .05) and were taller than those without (P = .03). Increased height and lack of walking boot use were predictive of recurrent LAS (P < .01, R2 = 0.33, area under the receiver operating characteristic = 0.81 [0.68, 0.95]).

conclusionsIndividuals with LAS who are taller and do not use a walking boot might have greater risk for a recurrent LAS withing 12 months of RTA.
