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

Objective: To evaluate the influence of lateral hinge fracture (LHF) on the early effectiveness of supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO) and to explore the related risk factors for LHF. Methods: A total of 39 patients (39 feet) with varus-type ankle osteoarthritis treated with SMO between January 2016 and December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 10 males and 29 females, aged from 41 to 71 years (mean, 57.7 years). According to Takakura stage, there were 6 feet in stage Ⅱ, 19 feet in stage Ⅲa, and 14 feet in stage Ⅲb. The LHF was recognized by the immediate postoperative X-ray film. The osteotomy healing time and the changes of pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, tibial anterior surface angle (TAS), tibial lateral surface angle (TLS), and tibiotalar angle (TT) before and after operation were compared between patients with and without LHF. The age, gender, affected side, body mass index, Takakura stage, preoperative VAS score, preoperative AOFAS score, preoperative TAS, preoperative TLS, preoperative TT, SMO correction angle, osteotomy distraction, distance from medial osteotomy to ankle joint line (MD), and distance from lateral osteotomy to ankle joint line (LD) were compared between with and without LHF patients, and further logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of LHF during SMO. Results: All patients were followed up 12-54 months (mean, 27.1 months). During operation, 13 feet developed LHF (group A) and 26 feet did not develop LHF (group B). X-ray film reexamination showed that 1 patient in group A complicated with tibial articular surface cleft fracture had delayed osteotomy and healed successfully after plaster fixation; the osteotomy of other patients healed, and there was no significant difference in healing time between the two groups ( Conclusion: Too high or too low lateral hinge position during SMO may lead to LHF, but as long as appropriate treatment and rehabilitation measurements are taken, the early effectiveness is similar to that of patients without LHF.
