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

introductionLaunched in 2018 for revision total ankle arthroplasty (rTAA), the INVISION talar component addresses subsidence when poor talar bone stock is present. Due to the recency of the market-availability of the INVISION, studies evaluating its efficacy are lacking. This study presents the first analysis of early-term outcomes of patients undergoing rTAA with the INVISION talar component.

methodsThis was a single-center, retrospective review of 28 patients undergoing rTAA with the INVISION talar component and INBONE II tibial component performed between 2018 and 2022. Data on preoperative characteristics, postoperative complications, secondary procedures, and survivorship were collected. The primary outcome measures were rates of major complications, re-operation, and implant failure. Secondary outcomes included post-operative changes in varus and valgus alignment of the tibia and talus.

resultsThe most common secondary procedures performed with rTAA were medial malleolus fixation (

conclusionsIn a series of 28 patients undergoing rTAA with the INVISION talar component, we discovered comparatively low rates of reoperation, major complication, and implant failure (10.7%, 14.3%, and 10.7%). The INVISION system appears to have a reasonable safety profile, but further studies evaluating long-term outcomes are required to assess the efficacy of the INVISION system.
