Weber Classification Does Not Correlate with PROMIS Outcome Measures.
Article in Foot & ankle orthopaedics, 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
Background: It remains unclear whether Weber subtype correlates with outcomes measured by validated Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) following ankle fracture surgery. We examine whether Weber subtype correlates with PROMIS. Methods: This was a retrospective review of 527 patients who underwent ankle fracture surgery at a single institution (2016-2021). Two fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons independently reviewed all radiographs. Of the 527 who were included in final analysis evaluating complications, 182 with Weber B and Weber C fractures completed PROMIS physical function (PF) and pain interference (PI) measures. All 182 had anatomically reduced ankles and were included for analysis of PROMIS. Primary outcome was PROMIS. Results: Among survey responders (n = 182), no significant difference existed between Weber B and Weber C anatomically reduced in mean PF (52.3 ± 9.9 vs 53.5 ± 9.2, Conclusion: Patients with anatomically reduced ankles may achieve population mean PROMIS regardless of Weber subtype. Although at early follow-up Weber C fractures have higher radiographic complication rates, including early-onset DJD, proper reduction and stabilization may be especially important to help patients achieve equivalent functional outcomes to patients with Weber B fractures. Higher BMI, female sex, and older age may negatively affect outcomes. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.
