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
introductionThe optimal surgical technique for chronic ankle instability remains disputable. This study had two main questions: the effect of additional medial collateral ligament (MCL) stabilisation in ankle instability and comparison of open and arthroscopic surgical techniques for lateral ligament repair. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe used 10 fresh-frozen cadaver feet (Science Care, Phoenix, AZ, USA) per group. Eight states were tested in an open surgery group: native; MCL cut; MCL repair; anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) cut; calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) cut; MCL re-cut + ATFL repair; MCL re-cut + AFTL and CFL repair; and MCL, ATFL, and CFL repair. Three states were tested in an arthroscopic group: Native; ATFL cut; and ATFL repair. A multidirectional loading test with five different movements (anterior translation (AT), supination (SUP), pronation (PRO), internal rotation (IR), and external rotation (ER)) was performed using a robotic system with six degrees-of-freedom.
resultsRefixation of the ATFL and CFL resulted in significant reductions in AT, IR, and SUP laxities (p < 0.05). Compared to this we observed a significant reduction of ER and PRO laxity when the MCL was additionally repaired ("MCL, ATFL and CFL repair") (p < 0.05). The outcomes of "MCL, ATFL and CFL repair" of the open procedure showed no significant differences in AT, SUP and IR laxity in the different ankle positions to the outcomes of "ATFL repair" of the arthroscopic procedure (p > 0.05).
conclusionLateral ligamentoplasty leads to stabilisation of the ankle joint in AT, IR and SUP. Additional medial stabilisation resulted in further stabilisation, highlighting the relevance of preoperative and intraoperative evaluations of the medial ankle ligaments treating ankle instability. The stabilisation of the ankle joint by open and arthroscopic techniques was comparable for lateral ligament repair.
