Article in Foot & ankle international, 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
backgroundCurrent guidelines recommend first tarsometatarsal joint (TMT-I) fusion in case of symptomatic hallux valgus (HV) with TMT-I instability. Despite successful TMT-I fusion, recurrence rates of 1.7% to 2.9% have been reported suggesting that residual instability of surrounding structures may contribute to recurrent deformity. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of sequential sectioning of the surrounding ligamentous structures in a TMT-I fusion model with and without activation of the peroneus longus tendon.
methodsCrossed-screw TMT-I fusion was performed in 6 cadaveric feet, and an optical infrared marker camera system was installed to detect relative movements between the first and second metatarsal head. A transverse force of 10 N and a vertical force in the coronal plane of 15 N were applied on the first metatarsal head and sectioning of the M. abductor hallucis, the dorsal and plantar Lisfranc ligaments, and the medial-middle intercuneiform ligament (C1-C2) were performed. The influence of the peroneus longus tendon (PL) was additionally evaluated.
resultsIn the transverse plane, significant changes occurred after sectioning of dorsal and plantar Lisfranc ligaments and predominantly after cutting the medial-middle intercuneiform ligament (C1-C2) without PL force (mean difference: 2.3°, 95% CI: -4.16 to -0.4°,
conclusionSequential sectioning of the M. abductor hallucis, dorsal and plantar tarsometatarsal ligaments, and the medial-middle intercuneiform ligament was associated with progressive first ray instability in this cadaveric model. PL activation provided a significant dynamic stabilizing effect, particularly in the transverse plane, where it compensated for progressive ligamentous insufficiency; in the coronal plane, abductor hallucis release was the primary destabilizing event and PL compensation was significant only under full destabilization.
