Complete talectomy for post-traumatic osteomyelitis (and/or avascular necrosis): report of a new technique.
Article in Journal of bone and joint infection, 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
The main complications after complex talar fractures, especially with respect to open injuries, are avascular necrosis (AVN) and fracture-related infection (FRI) Their treatment is a source of discussion, and reconstruction options are scarce. A descriptive longitudinal study of three cases with a two-stage tibiocalcaneal (TC) arthrodesis (talectomy followed by a retrograde nailing and two tantalum spacers) is presented. Information on infection relapse and fusion of the arthrodesis was collected, along with demographic, radiological, and functional variables (such as Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire, MOXFQ, values; EuroQol index values; and visual analogue scale for pain, VAS-pain, values) After a minimum of 3 years, no infection relapse or pseudoarthrosis was observed. Leg alignment was comparable to the contralateral side. Functional and pain tests showed optimal values: MOXFQ index of 16.6, mean EuroQol index of 0.782, and mean VAS-pain of 19.
