Assessing Lisfranc Instability With Triplanar Weightbearing CT Alignment: Standardized Second Metatarsal Dorsal Offset.
Article in Foot & ankle orthopaedics, 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
Background: Subtle Lisfranc injuries may escape detection on conventional imaging. Weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) offers 3-dimensional assessment under loadbearing conditions and may improve detection of instability. The interval between the medial cuneiform (C1) and the second metatarsal (M2) is commonly measured, but sagittal displacement of M2 relative to the intermediate cuneiform (C2) may provide additional information. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 31 patients with acute Lisfranc injuries who underwent bilateral WBCT. A new standardized measurement of the second metatarsal dorsal offset (M2DO) was performed following triplanar alignment of M2, measuring dorsal cortical offset relative to the second cuneiform. Two foot and ankle surgeons independently obtained measurements; 1 repeated all measurements after 2 weeks. Injured and uninjured sides were compared with paired Results: The M2DO differed significantly between injured (0.71 ± 1.18 mm) and uninjured feet (-0.74 ± 0.66) ( Conclusion: The M2DO is a reliable WBCT-based parameter for evaluating Lisfranc instability. It may supplement the triplanar C1-M2 method and thereby improve diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility. Future studies should establish thresholds for surgical decision-making and clinical application. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective diagnostic study.
