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

Objective: Arterial injury following hindfoot fusion is an exceptionally rare but serious complication that may result in limb threatening ischaemia. Methods: This report presents the case of a 71 year old man who experienced acute foot ischaemia after undergoing combined arthroscopic and mini-open tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. Angiography revealed anterior tibial artery occlusion with an arteriovenous fistula. After failed antegrade attempts, transpedal retrograde recanalisation via the dorsalis pedis artery successfully restored perfusion and excluded the fistula. Results: This case highlights the potential for arterial injury as a rare complication of complex hindfoot procedures. It underscores the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration between orthopaedic and endovascular specialists and demonstrates that minimally invasive recanalisation techniques can effectively salvage the limb and prevent major amputation.
