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

objectiveProgressive collapsing foot deformity is a complex clinical presentation of combined deformities, which affects articular joint relationships. Herein, the study aimed to characterize joint interactions of the ankle, tibiofibular, talofibular, subtalar, talonavicular, calcaneocuboid, naviculo-cuneiform, and tarso-metatarsal joints. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe quantified and compared the results between 23 female patients with progressive collapsing foot deformity and 23 female asymptomatic individuals. We used a multi-domain correspondence model from statical shape modeling to compare the alignment and morphology followed by calculating the joint-level measurements including the joint space distance and the congruence index between groups.

resultsFrom our results we found that almost all bones and joints were affected by the progressive collapsing foot deformity. Our main results for joint space distances were narrowing in the sinus tarsi, gapping at the medial of the calcaneocuboid joint, and narrowing at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th tarso-metatarsal joints. The primary results for the congruence index were shifted to the lateral side in the talonavicular joint and a less congruent middle facet of the subtalar joint in the progressive collapsing foot deformity group. In addition, the joint space distance was mainly influenced by alignment, and the congruence index was influenced by bone morphology.

conclusionWe believe that assessing multi-joint interactions in progressive collapsing foot deformity will lead to a better understanding of the pathophysiology and assist in surgical treatment planning.
