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

purposeLesions of the peroneal tendons are frequently overseen after ankle sprain. The symptoms consist of stress-dependent pain that extends from the inframalleolar to the proximal part along the course of the peroneal tendons as well as ankle instability and soft-tissue swelling. In case of unsuccessful conservative treatment, surgical therapy is recommended. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome after open reconstruction of the peroneus brevis tendon.

methods13 patients were included in this retrospective study. All of them received a single reconstruction of the peroneus brevis tendon in open technique. Postoperative results were evaluated with the AOFAS score, a functional and perdobargraphic analysis as well as measuring postural stability with the Biodex balance system. The participants were matched with a healthy control group according to age, sex and BMI.

resultsThe results of the AOFAS score showed significantly convincing results in all subscores postoperatively. A bilateral comparison of the postural stability showed that the affected side had become functionally similar to the healthy side. No statistical significant difference was detected concerning both one-legged and two-legged standing with the control group. Pedobarographic results revealed no difference between the affected and contralateral side, as well as between the patients and the healthy control group.

conclusionOpen reconstruction of the peroneus brevis tendon leads to significant better postoperative results and can be recommended after unsuccessful conservative treatment as promising option.
