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

introductionLisfranc injuries are relatively rare but associated with a notoriously poor prognosis despite significant advances in their surgical treatment. This study aimed to investigate changes in plantar sensation, ankle proprioception, mobility, balance, and isokinetic strength in patients treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for partially incongruent Lisfranc injuries. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. The patient group consisted of 12 patients (9 males, mean age = 39.16 ± 13.57 years) who were treated with ORIF for a Myerson type B partially incongruent Lisfranc injury between 2020 and 2023. Measurements were conducted at an average of 20 (20–42) months post-surgery. The control group included 11 healthy participants (8 males, mean age: 37 ± 8.69 years) with no known orthopedic conditions. Sole sensation, ankle proprioception, ankle dorsiflexion (DF) and plantarflexion (PF) muscle strength and endurance were measured with CYBEX 350 isokinetic dynamometer, along with dynamic balance, ankle mobility, and PF endurance.

resultsThe patient group exhibited significant reductions in mid-foot plantar sensation (p = 0.019), as well as impairments in active angle replication at 7° DF, 7° PF, and 14° PF (p = 0.049, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). Additionally, marked declines were observed in both dorsiflexion strength and endurance (p < 0.001) and plantarflexion endurance (p = 0.007). Furthermore, this group demonstrated decreased dynamic balance (p = 0.021), particularly in the anterior direction (p = 0.001), alongside diminished ankle mobility (p = 0.001) and isotonic endurance of the ankle plantar flexor muscles (p = 0.001).

conclusionsAnkle mobility, balance, and muscle endurance can be limited as a result of substantial proprioceptive losses, decreased midfoot plantar sensation, and poor active angle replication following surgery for Lisfranc injury, according to this study. Emphasizing focused proprioception and balance training in post-operative rehabilitation is crucial to enhance recovery and prevent long-term complications.
