Comparison of Ultrasound and MRI with Intraoperative Findings in the Diagnosis of Peroneal Tendinopathy, Tears, and Subluxation.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Suspected peroneal tendinopathy, tears, and subluxation are often confirmed preoperatively using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or diagnostic ultrasound (US). No study has directly compared the accuracy of these tests for the diagnosis of peroneal tendon pathology. The purpose of this study is to directly compare MRI and US to intraoperative findings in patients who underwent surgery for suspected peroneal pathology to determine the imaging diagnostic accuracy. Operative records and diagnostic images for 21 consecutive patients who had both MRI and US prior to surgery for suspected peroneal tendinopathy, tears, or subluxation were retrospectively reviewed. The results of this review are compared with the intraoperative findings to yield the sensitivity and specificity for each imaging modality. For the diagnosis of peroneal tendon tears, US was found to have a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 100%, compared to 100% sensitivity and specificity for MRI. In the diagnosis of peroneal tendinopathy, both US and MRI had a sensitivity and specificity of 100%. In diagnosing peroneal subluxation, US was 100% sensitive compared to 66% for MRI, and both were 100% specific. In conclusion, US was found to be more effective in diagnosing peroneal subluxation and MRI was slightly more accurate in the diagnosis of peroneal tendon tears.
