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
Background: The arthroscopic modified Bröstrom procedure (AMBP) is widely used to treat chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). However, in patients with poor or absent ligament remnants, the outcomes may be suboptimal, suggesting a clinical need for alternative techniques. Purpose: To introduce all-inside arthroscopic lateral capsular shift (ALCS) and compare outcomes with those for AMBP. Study design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 132 patients (139 ankles) with CLAI who underwent all-inside arthroscopic procedures between November 2017 and December 2022 and had a minimum follow-up of 24 months: 88 ankles with good ligament remnants underwent AMBP, and 51 ankles with poor or absent ligament remnants underwent ALCS. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using visual analog scale pain scores and Foot and Ankle Outcome Scores. Radiological outcomes were evaluated by anterior displacement of the talus and talar tilt angle. Between-group comparisons were performed using parametric or nonparametric tests, with significance set at a Results: The 2 groups were comparable in baseline demographics, including age, sex distribution, and follow-up duration, with no significant differences between groups. The mean follow-up was 41.5 months (range, 24-89 months). For both groups, functional scores improved significantly after surgery, with no significant differences between groups in final scores or the proportion of patients who achieved functional score improvements exceeding the minimal important change (all Conclusion: Our study showed that ALCS achieved clinical and radiological outcomes comparable to those of AMBP, with low recurrence rates after at least 2 years of follow-up. Our results suggest that ALCS may be a viable operative treatment option for patients with CLAI but poor ligament remnants. Future prospective studies are needed to further validate and generalized the findings of this study.
