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

Ankle sprains are among the most common sports-related musculoskeletal injuries. Injury to the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament, resulting in anterior syndesmotic instability, is frequently overlooked and inadequately treated. The purpose of this technical note is to (1) describe clinical examination maneuvers used to assess anterior syndesmotic stability; (2) review radiologic features suggestive of syndesmotic instability; and (3) present 2 arthroscopically assisted techniques for anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament reconstruction. The surgical techniques are described stepwise, with emphasis on indications, technical pearls, and potential pitfalls.
