Factors Associated with the Clinical Outcomes of Ankle Instability Surgery.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2025. 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
Objectives: More than 20% of patients experience chronic lateral ligamentous instability of the ankle (CLLIOTA) following the appropriate management of an ankle sprain. The modified Broström-Gould (MBG) procedure has become the standard treatment for the anatomic repair of symptomatic CLLIOTA. Methods: This retrospective, single-group study included all patients with CLLIOTA who underwent surgery using the MBG technique in Shahid Kamyab Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, between July 2015 and August 2020. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS), Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), and Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the outcome. The correlation between patient-related factors and each outcome measure was also analyzed. Results: In total, 38 patients underwent the MBG procedure. The mean follow-up was 40.1 (18-67) months. Overall, 15 patients (39.47%) had a history of sports-related ankle sprains, and 15 (39.47%) had ankle osteochondral lesions. The AOFAS score improved significantly (51.23±13.49 to 91.92±12.077, P<0.001), while MOXFQ and VAS scores decreased significantly in the follow-up evaluation (50.28±9.33 to 27.5±13.35, P<0.001, and 6.2±1.47 to 2.18±1.86, P<0.001, respectively). No significant correlation was found between pre-operative ankle osteoarthritis, talus osteochondral lesion, duration of the follow-up, ankle sprain etiology (sports vs. non-sports), age, body mass index, gender, and the interval between the first sprain and surgery on the one hand, and post-operative outcomes, on the other hand. The more time passed after the surgery, the less painful the ankle of the patient was (P=0.038). No failure was observed among the patients. Conclusion: This study showed that the open MBG technique for CLLIOTA can improve clinical outcomes with no major complications following surgery in the Iranian population.
