Ankle-GO score is associated with the probability of becoming coper after lateral ankle sprain: a 1-year prospective cohort study.
Article in British journal of sports medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectiveTo analyse the association between Ankle-GO score during the return to sport process and the probability of becoming a coper 1 year after lateral ankle sprain (LAS). Copers were defined as patients returning to their preinjury sport without loss of function and reporting no episodes of reinjury or giving-way.
methodsTwo months after a LAS, patients performed the Ankle-GO assessment which includes a cluster of four functional tests and two self-reported questionnaires for a maximum score of 25 points. One year after injury, participants were classified as copers or non-copers. Eight potential predictive variables associated with coper status were compared between the groups. Receiver operating characteristic curves (area under the curve (AUC)) and multivariable logistic regression models with OR and 95% CIs were used to determine the association of potential factors, including the Ankle-GO score, with copers.
results64 patients (56% females; age 33.7±13.2 years) completed the Ankle-GO-GO at 2 months postinjury. At 1 year postinjury, 10 patients (15%) were lost to follow-up, and only 17 of 54 patients (31%) became copers. Two-month Ankle-GO score was higher among copers (9.9±4.9 points vs 6.9±3.7, p=0.015) and was associated with future coper status at 1 year (AUC=0.70). Patients with an Ankle-GO score above 11 points and male patients were more likely to become copers (OR=12.1; 95% CI 2.5 to 59, p=0.002 and OR=5.2; 95% CI 1.2 to 22.4, p=0.026, respectively).
conclusionThe Ankle-GO may help identify patients more likely to become copers within a year of injury. Those with low Ankle-GO scores and female patients should receive additional rehabilitation to increase the odds of becoming a coper.
