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
Objective: To investigate the short-term effectiveness of arthroscopic Lasso-Loop suture combined with Suture Tape augmentation in treatment of lateral ankle instability. Methods: A total of 19 patients with lateral ankle instability were enrolled between January 2022 and August 2022, including 11 males and 8 females, with a mean age of 35.5 years (range, 16-68 years). All patients underwent arthroscopic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) using Lasso-Loop suture combined with Suture Tape augmentation. Injury causes consisted of sports injury in 14 cases, sprain in 4 cases, and traffic accident injury in 1 case. There were 6 cases of acute injury and 13 cases of chronic injury. Anterior drawer test was positive in all 19 patients, and varus stress test was positive in 6 patients. Imaging examinations revealed the talar osteochondral lesions in 3 cases, including 2 cases of Outerbridge grade Ⅲ and 1 case of grade Ⅳ. Preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score was 71 (62, 72), and the Kaikkonen ankle injury functional score was 40 (25, 50). Results: The incisions in 18 cases healed by first intension; the incision fat liquefaction occurred in 1 patient and recovered after dressing changes. All patients were followed up 12 months. At 12 months after operation, both anterior drawer test and varus stress test were negative. At 6 weeks and 12 months after operation, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores of the affected ankle were 85 (80, 90) and 100 (100, 100), respectively, while the Kaikkonen ankle injury functional scores were 89 (89, 98) and 100 (100, 100), respevtively. All scores significantly improved when compared with preoperative levels and showed a gradual upward trend over time, with significant differences ( Conclusion: For patients with lateral ankle instability, arthroscopic debridement combined with ATFL reconstruction using the Lasso-Loop suture and Suture Tape augmentation can achieve satisfactory short-term effectiveness.
