1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) injury and the pathological changes of the anterior tibiotalar fat pad (ATFP) based on MRI. Methods: The clinical and imaging data of 217 patients with ankle sprain who met the selection criteria between January 2019 and March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 113 males and 104 females with an average age of 38.2 years ranging from 18 to 60 years. Patients were divided into mild group ( Results: There were significant differences in ATFP types among different ATFL injury groups ( Conclusion: As the severity of ATFL injury increases, the ATFP undergoes gradual morphological and functional changes. Classification based on ATFP types can assist in assessing the level of ATFL injury, thereby aiding in the prevention of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
