Cadaveric Study on the Safety of Medial versus Anterocentral Portals in Ankle Arthroscopy: A Comparative Analysis.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The medial midline portal and anterocentral both are not standard portals for ankle arthroscopy, but they provide a wide field of vision. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare anatomical safety between medial midline and anterocentral portal in arthroscopy in respect to the least injury to adjacent structures. Materials and Methods: 20 cadaveric ankles were dissected and related anatomical structures were measured from anterocentral and medial midline portals. Results: The dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) was at a mean distance of 10.08 mm, the deep peroneal nerve was at 16.20 mm, the tibialis anterior tendon was at 2.41 mm, and the extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon was at 2.62 mm from the medial midline portal. The EHL tendon was injured in two specimens during portal placement. The anterocentral portal was placed at a mean distance of 2.38 mm from the DPA, 7.09 mm from the superficial peroneal nerve, and 4.12 mm from the deep peroneal nerve. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that the anterocentral portal is safer than the medial midline portal for ankle arthroscopy. While there is a high risk of tendon injury in the medial midline portal.
