Beyond the bunion: Trends in minimally invasive techniques in foot and ankle surgery.
Review in Bulletin of the Hospital for Joint Disease (2013), 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
abstractMinimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionized foot and ankle care by emphasizing delicate tissue handling, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery through small incisions and precise instrumentation. The evolution of MIS spans 4 distinct historical "seasons," from its early development in the mid-20th century to its global resurgence in the 2010s, driven by improved techniques, education, and international collaboration. Today, MIS extends beyond hallux valgus correction to include complex procedures such as first metatarsophalangeal joint, subtalar joint, tibiotalar joint, and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis, with evidence demonstrating comparable or superior outcomes to open approaches. This review details the history of MIS in foot and ankle orthopedics and how this paradigm shift continues to redefine standards and improves outcomes in foot and ankle surgery.
