Association of medial talar chondral lesions with deltoid ligament ruptures in ankle fractures: a multicenter study of 100 cases.

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
introductionThis study aimed to investigate the incidence of medial talar chondral lesions in ankle fractures associated with deltoid ligament ruptures and to evaluate their correlation with fracture-related characteristics, which could support open deltoid ligament repair during fracture fixation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective, cross-sectional and multicenter study that included 100 patients with deltoid ligament rupture in the context of ankle fracture. All data related to the chondral lesions and ankle fracture were obtained during the preoperative and intraoperative periods.
resultsMedial cartilage lesions of the talar dome were identified in 43 patients (43%) with deltoid ligament ruptures. The mean lesion area was 25 mm
conclusionThis study identified a 43% incidence of medial talar chondral lesions in ankle fractures associated with deltoid ligament rupture, highlighting a high frequency of associated medial talar chondral lesions, which may represent an additional factor to consider when evaluating the role of deltoid ligament repair in this clinical setting. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, cross-sectional study.
