Fear of Reinjury Limits Patient Functional Outcomes as Measured by PROMIS Following Augmented Broström Procedure.
Article in Foot & ankle orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Fear of reinjury (FORI) can hinder recovery in several orthopaedic conditions, but its impact after augmented Broström repair is unknown. We sought to determine the prevalence of FORI and its association with functional outcomes in this setting. This study aims to determine whether patients experience FORI following augmented Broström repair and whether FORI impacts functional outcomes. Methods: 80 patients who underwent Broström repair with Results: 64% (51/80) of patients reported postoperative FORI. Average follow-up was 3.9 years. Fear was associated with worse PF (49.9 ± 7.4 vs 54.9 ± 8.4, Conclusion: FORI affected nearly two-thirds of patients and was linked to clinically meaningful functional deficits. Although PROMIS scores reached population means overall, addressing psychological barriers may further optimize outcomes after augmented Broström repair. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series study.
