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

Introduction Idiopathic clubfoot is a common congenital anomaly that is treated with the Ponseti method in accordance with the guidelines showing excellent results. Nevertheless, relapse may occur for which a tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT) has been described as a useful treatment. However, a guideline describing the exact indication, surgical techniques and postoperative care of a TATT is not available yet. The aim of this study is to provide a survey-based overview of the pre-, peri- and postoperative steps of the various methods that are used to perform the TATT procedure throughout the Netherlands. Materials and methods An online survey was created, based on a literature review, and sent to the paediatric orthopaedic surgeons working at 11 different clubfoot centres in the Netherlands. We received nine complete responses from seven out of 11 (64%) orthopaedic centres. The data was collected through the online survey software Qualtrics
