Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability Repair Technique Using All-Inside and All-Knotless Soft-Tissue Anchors.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) is common in sports. Whereas traditional open Broström-Gould surgery remains the gold standard for anterior talofibular ligament repair, advances in arthroscopic techniques with knotless suture anchors offer promising alternatives, reducing recovery time and complications. This article presents a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique for anterior talofibular ligament reconstruction with knotless anchors, reattaching the ligament to the fibula and minimizing risks of knot irritation and impingement. Postoperatively, patients follow a structured rehabilitation protocol, returning to full activity by 12 weeks. Compared with open techniques, this approach yields superior functional outcomes and esthetic benefits and addresses intra-articular issues associated with CLAI. The knotless arthroscopic technique yields a stable ligament repair with fewer neurologic risks, enhancing patient satisfaction and success. This procedure presents a safe, effective alternative for CLAI treatment.
