Medial Naviculocuneiform Arthritis Associated With Central Tarsometatarsal Arthritis: Case Series of a Distinct Midfoot Arthritis Pattern.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 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
backgroundMidfoot arthritis affects patient function and can cause notable pain. We describe a distinct pattern of midfoot arthritis in patients without known trauma or underlying medical diagnosis.
methodsPatients were identified from clinical practice as having radiographic arthritis involving the medial naviculocuneiform and central tarsometatarsal joints, without a history of trauma. Medical records were reviewed to examine demographic data, bilaterality, treatment, and surgical outcomes (if applicable).
resultsForty-one patients were identified as having this pattern of midfoot arthritis. Ninety-eight percentage of patients in this cohort were female. Bilaterality was observed in 63% of patients with bilateral radiographs available for comparison. Seventy-seven percentage of patients who underwent fluoroscopic injection into their medial navicular cuneiform joint and central tarsometatarsal joints experienced notable improvement in symptoms (and did not undergo surgical intervention during the study time frame). Among patients who underwent surgery (n = 10), the union rate was 78% (five/nine patients, one patient lost to follow-up). Surgical patients had an average of 2.2 (range of 0 to 5) fluoroscopically guided injections before surgery.
conclusionThis report educates practitioners on a distinct pattern of midfoot arthritis. This pattern of midfoot arthritis seems to respond favorably with fluoroscopically guided injections into the medial cuneiform joint and/or the central tarsometatarsal joints. Only a subset of patients required midfoot arthrodesis.
