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
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of titanium locking plate combined with suture anchor (SA) repair in the treatment of ankle fractures (AF). Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 170 patients with AF who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of Wuhan Fourth Hospital, China from May 2020 to June 2023 was conducted. A total of 83 patients underwent conventional open reduction and internal fixation (control group); 87 patients received titanium locking plates combined with SA repair (observation group). Ankle joint functional recovery (measured using the Mazur Ankle Grading Scale), quality of life (measured using the Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74), and incidence of complications were compared between two groups. Active range of motion and muscle strength of the ankle joint in plantar flexion and dorsiflexion states, and medial clear space and talar tilt angle were also analyzed. Results: The rate of excellent recovery of ankle joint function in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( Conclusions: Titanium locking plates combined with SA repair for the treatment of AF can significantly improve ankle joint functional recovery, improve the quality of life of patients, and is associated with a lower incidence of complications.
