Extensive ossification of the Achilles tendon with fracture treated by autologous peroneus longus tendon graft: a case report.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2026. 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
backgroundExtensive ossification of the Achilles tendon (EOAT) is a rare condition, often associated with previous trauma or surgery. Cases complicated by fracture are even less common, and the optimal surgical approach remains a subject of discussion. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 65-year-old male with a recent ankle sprain and a history of prior trauma to the same area over a decade ago. Imaging revealed an 85.6 mm long ossified mass within the Achilles tendon, which had fractured. The patient underwent surgical excision of the ossified mass and reconstruction using an autologous peroneus longus tendon graft with full restoration of ankle motion and function at 6 months.
conclusionThis case demonstrates a successful application of the peroneus longus tendon for reconstruction after Achilles tendon ossification with fracture. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case using a peroneus longus tendon graft for Achilles tendon ossification with fracture.
