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

Multiple autografts have been employed in reconstructing anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability. However, conventional techniques using peroneal tendons longus/brevis as graft sources carry inherent risks of donor site morbidity. This Technical Note describes using the fibularis tertius tendon for V-shaped double-bundle anatomic ATFL reconstruction in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability. This technique restores the ATFL's multifascicular anatomy, minimizes donor morbidity through optimized graft selection, and preserves peroneal tendon integrity while maintaining traditional autograft-equivalent biomechanical strength.
