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

Background: The optimal surgical procedures for chronic Lisfranc injuries are controversial. This study aimed to demonstrate the clinical outcomes of fiber tape fixation for chronic Lisfranc injuries under early full weightbearing protocols. Methods: This study included 11 feet from 10 patients who underwent fiber tape fixation for chronic Lisfranc injuries (undiagnosed for more than 6 weeks from injuries). All patients were allowed full weightbearing with normal shoes 4 weeks after the surgery. Clinical outcomes were evaluated with the Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire. Radiographic outcomes were evaluated with a first cuneiform (C1)-second metatarsal (M2) distance from weightbearing anteroposterior plain foot radiography. Results: The median follow-up period was 12 months (IQR, 12-16). The median C1-M2 distance improved significantly from 3.3 mm (IQR, 2.9-5.2) to 1.6 mm (IQR, 1.5-2.2). The pain, physical functioning, social functioning, shoe-related, and general health subscales of SAFE-Q improved significantly after the surgery, whereas the sports subscale did not reach statistical significance ( Conclusion: The fiber tape fixation device under early full weightbearing protocols led to short-term improvements in pain, function, and radiographic stability for chronic Lisfranc injuries, with no observed complications. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.
