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

Ankle dislocation without associated fractures is a rare event. We present a case of pure ankle dislocation in a 23-year-old male with no associated bone injuries. Surgical treatment was chosen due to the high functional demands of the patient, where a capsuloligamentous injury and syndesmotic instability were identified and subsequently repaired during surgery. The ankle was immobilized in a plaster cast for 21 days, weight-bearing was allowed after 45 days. A full range of motion and return to daily activities was achieved in three months; two years after surgery the patient doesnt complain of any pain during both daily and sport activities.
