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
purposeThe aim was to assess the long-term functional outcome and quality of life after staged surgical treatment of complex Lisfranc and Chopart injuries in a patient cohort, and to perform a systematic review of the literature.
methodsA retrospective cohort of all trauma patients with complex Lisfranc and/or Chopart injuries treated at our level 1 trauma center between July 1, 2010, and July 1, 2020 with ≥ 3 years follow-up was analyzed in terms of management, complications, and patient-reported outcomes (American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society midfoot score, AOFAS and Foot Function Index, FFI). A systematic review of the literature (according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines) was performed of studies published between January 2000 to April 2024. Inclusion criteria were acute, complex Lisfranc and/or Chopart injury, staged treatment, age ≥ 17 years, patient-reported outcome measures and ≥ 1 year follow-up.
resultsFifteen patients with a median follow-up of 6.6 years (interquartile range 4) were included. First stage treatment involved temporary K-wire fixation (n = 11), debridement (open fractures, n = 4), external fixation (n = 4) and decompression fasciotomy (n = 3). Second stage included primary arthrodesis (n = 4), open reduction and internal fixation (n = 7) or external fixation (n = 1). The median number of surgeries was 3 (2-13). Infection was seen in 5/15 patients; 7/11 patients underwent secondary arthrodesis and one patient underwent amputation due to chronic pain. Overall AOFAS was fair (54.5) and five patients had poor outcome (AOFAS < 49). Three full-length articles were included in the systematic review, reporting fair to good outcome. Risk of bias was serious and certainty of evidence very low.
conclusionSurgical management of complex Lisfranc and Chopart injuries is challenging, functional outcome was poor to fair, postoperative complication rates are high, and secondary salvage arthrodesis was required in two thirds of ORIF patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
