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

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Ilizarov technique combined with the "joystick technique" for the treatment of fourth brachymetatarsia. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 53 patients with fourth brachymetatarsia who met the selection criteria and were treated between August 2021 and January 2025. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method: group A (Ilizarov combined with "joystick technique", Results: All surgeries were successfully completed. The operation time and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency were significantly lower in group A than in group B ( Conclusion: The Ilizarov technique combined with the "joystick technique" can significantly optimize surgical efficiency, reduce intraoperative trauma and the risk of complications, and promote better functional recovery and patient satisfaction. It represents a favorable option for the treatment of fourth brachymetatarsia.
