Isolated Talar Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma Treated With Tibiocalcaneal Arthrodesis Using an Ilizarov External Fixation.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Acrometastases to the feet are exceedingly rare. We report a case of isolated talar metastasis from renal cell carcinoma successfully managed through surgical excision and reconstruction with Ilizarov external fixation. A 65-year-old male presented with a six-month history of right ankle pain. Radiographs revealed an osteolytic lesion in the talus. An incisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Systemic evaluation showed no recurrence in the right kidney or metastases beyond the right talus. En bloc resection of the talus was performed via an anterior approach, followed by tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis using Ilizarov external fixation. At the four-year follow-up, the patient remained pain-free while walking and showed no evidence of recurrence or additional metastases.
