Nonunion after medial malleolar osteotomy in total ankle arthroplasties for severe varus deformity: a report of 3 cases.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Of the three ankles after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) with medial malleolar osteotomy for severe varus deformity (talar varus tilt >10°), two failed in varus migration of the tibial component. In these two cases, tibial osteotomy was performed with varus alignment of 5°and 2°, and with medially shifted placement of tibial component, while one ankle showed no migratoin of prostheses after 5 years, even with nonunion. In this case, tibial osteotomy was performed with a valgus alignment of 4°. Internal fixation after medial malleolar osteotomy should be done for severe varus cases. Medially shifted placement of tibial component should be avoided. Fortunately, the failure did not occur in a case of valgus of the distal tibia. Valgus tibial osteotomy might help to reduce the collision of the talus against the medial malleolus.
