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

Chronic osteochondral lesions of the talus often require bone grafts to support healing. When located posterolaterally, these lesions require an open lateral malleolar osteotomy for adequate exposure. However, this approach can complicate healing and affect post-osteotomy congruency, potentially affecting long-term outcomes. We describe a posterior ankle arthroscopy technique with ankle positioning in dorsiflexion, which enhances visualization and enables talar posterolateral lesion debridement, subchondral drilling, and precise fitting of cylindrical iliac osteochondral autograft. This technique contributes to the effective management of challenging posterolateral osteochondral lesions of the talus.
