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

Bipartite navicular bone is an uncommon foot pathology that generally occurs in adolescent patients. However, some patients may become symptomatic during adulthood. When conservative treatment fails, surgical treatment is performed. However, due to a lack of high-quality evidence, the optimal surgical strategy for bipartite navicular remains unclear. The talonavicular arthrodesis and internal fixation of the fragment have been reported as the surgical choice of the symptomatic bipartite navicular. The internal fixation of the fragment may have a high risk of postoperative nonunion. However, talonavicular arthrodesis results in the limitation of the motion and function of the midfoot, which may cause dysfunction or osteoarthritis of the adjacent joints. This paper aims to present an adult case of symptomatic bipartite navicular that was treated by the internal fixation of the fragment using screws, with a favorable short-term outcome.
