Factors affecting outcomes of functional rehabilitation treatment of Achilles ruptures.

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
Introduction: There has been a major shift towards nonoperative treatment of Achilles rupture in the past decade even though there are few studies analysing factors which could affect outcomes of this treatment. This retrospective observational study was undertaken to investigate if patient related factors of age and gender or injury related factors of tendon gap, location of the tendon rupture and laterality of rupture affected the long-term functional outcomes of nonoperatively treated Achilles Tendon rupture patients. Methods: Achilles Tendon Rupture Scores (ATRS) at a minimum follow up of one year for 22 patients treated by the functional treatment regime were analysed statistically using Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test and Welch Results and conclusion: The overall ATRS of the group was 85.8 (range 65-100). Age of the patients was the only factor affecting ATRS, patients less than 50 years had a better outcome (mean ATRS 92.6, range 65-100) than patients aged more than 50 years (mean ATRS 81.1, range 70-94,
