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

The deltoid ligament, the strongest medial ankle ligament, is often overlooked in ankle injuries, despite its substantial role in ankle stability. Medial sprains, accounting for 3%-4% of ankle injuries, are frequently misdiagnosed, leading to chronic pain, instability, and hindfoot valgus deformity. While most cases respond to conservative treatment, chronic injuries that fail conservative measures require surgical intervention. This technical paper introduces a novel four-bundle deltoid ligament reconstruction technique, restoring two anterior (superficial and deep) and two posterior (superficial and deep) bundles. This approach provides a solution for severe injuries and high-demand patients, permitting functional stability. Level of Evidence: Level V.
