Endoscopic Debridement, Ostectomy, Release, and Radiofrequency: A Fully Endoscopic Technique for Treating Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Plantar fasciitis (PF), a common cause of heel pain, primarily results from inflammation of the plantar fascia due to excessive strain. Its complex pathophysiology, influenced by various biomechanical factors, has led to the development of diverse surgical techniques. Most of these techniques, when used in isolation, have shown benefits in treating refractory PF. We propose the debridement, ostectomy, release, and radiofrequency procedure, a minimally invasive approach combining (1) debridement of the suprafascial plane, (2) ostectomy of the calcaneal spur, (3) partial release of the medial plantar fascia, and (4) direct radiofrequency microtenotomy of the plantar fascia. For patients with gastrocnemius muscle tightness, the procedure may also include a medial endoscopic gastrocnemius release. The described procedure addresses the multifaceted pathology of PF in a single intervention. This comprehensive approach aims to improve patient satisfaction and functional outcomes.
