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
Objective: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical efficacy and safety of arthroscopy-assisted reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus (Sanders type II and III). Methods: Conducted at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, this retrospective study analyzed 60 consecutive patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs) admitted between January 2021 and February 2023. All patients underwent arthroscopically-assisted minimally invasive reduction and fixation with sustentaculum tali screws plus medial wall support screw. Outcomes were tracked preoperatively, postoperatively, and at final follow-up, encompassing radiographic metrics (Böhler angle, Gissane angle, calcaneal width, calcaneal height) and clinical scores (AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot Scale, VAS). Pre-to-postoperative changes were analyzed using paired Results: All 60 patients completed a minimum 12-month postoperative follow-up. Fracture union was achieved in all cases with no loss to follow-up. Postoperative CT and x-ray imaging confirmed: satisfactory calcaneal morphological restoration, maintained reduction without significant loss between postoperative and final measurements ( Conclusion: Arthroscopically assisted reduction and internal fixation using calcanar screws and medial wall support screws is a feasible and effective surgical strategy for the treatment of Sanders type II and type III intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
