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 investigate the surgical treatment methods and clinical outcomes of repair for anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) injury at talar attachment. Methods: A clinical data of 26 patients with ATFL injuries at the talar attachment, who underwent surgical treatment between January 2021 and January 2025, was retrospectively analyzed. The cohort comprised 12 males and 14 females, with a mean age of 30 years (range, 11-52 years). The mean body mass index was 21.5 kg/m Results: All incisions achieved primary healing with no surgery-related complication. All patients were followed up 12-59 months (mean, 28 months). At last follow-up, NRS and AOFAS scores improved significantly to 0.8±1.0 and 96.8±5.0, respectively ( Conclusion: Surgical repair of ATFL injury at the talar attachment-whether via arthroscopic suture anchors, mini-open suture anchors, or transosseous suturing-yields favorable clinical outcomes. The choice of surgical technique should be stratified by the extent of ligamentous injury and the severity of concomitant pathologies.
