Subtalar Arthroereisis for Symptomatic Flexible Flatfoot in Adolescents: A Prospective Study of 26 Feet.
Article in Materia socio-medica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Flexible flatfoot is a normal finding in infants and the arch is shaped spontaneously in most children before the age of 10 years. Flexible flatfoot is a common deformity in both adolescent and adult populations. Objective: This prospective study aims to assess the functional and radiological outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis in adolescent patients with symptomatic flexible flatfoot. Methods: This is a prospective study and included 26 feet in 19 patients who underwent subtalar arthroereisis for symptomatic flexible flatfeet deformity. Preoperative and postoperative functional assessment based on the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot scale. Radiographic parameters included preoperative and postoperative Kite`s angle, talonavicular coverage angle, Anterior-Posterior talo-1st metatarsal angle, Meary`s angle, talar declination angle, calcaneal inclination angle and lateral talocalcaneal angle. Results: The mean follow-up period was 22.5±9.4 months and the mean preoperative AOFAS score was 54.6±6.0, while the mean AOFAS score at the last follow-up visit was 86.3±3.9 (P<0.001).The mean preoperative and postoperative radiological measurements were 19.0°±8.2° and 7.4°±3.9° for the AP Talo-1st metatarsal angle (P<0.001); 23.6°±9.1° and 8.0°±4.0° for talonavicular coverage angle (P<0.001); 35.4°±3.7° and 24.1°±3.4° for Kite`s angle (P<0.003); 22.4°±6.1° and 7.5°±3.7° for Meary`s angle (P<0.001); 41.0°±4.4° and 25.2°±7.1° for talar declination angle (P<0.001); 13.5°±3.7° and 21.3°±3.6° for calcaneal inclination angle (P<0.001) and 52.4°±7.2° and 42.9°±4.8° for lateral talocalcaneal angle (P<0.041) respectively. Conclusion: Subtalar arthroereisis is an effective and minimally invasive procedure that showed clinical and radiological improvement for symptomatic flexible flatfoot in our study group.
