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

End-stage ankle arthritis is often treated surgically by total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) due to its potential to improve gait through increased joint range of motion and reduce pain. However, TAA's effect on gait stability is not well understood. This study explores the impact of TAA on gait stability, measured by Margin of Stability (MoS), in 148 patients with end-stage ankle arthritis. Kinematic data were collected pre-operatively, at 1-year post-op, and at 2-years post-op and the MoS was determined at heel strike and midstance for the anteroposterior (MoS
