Congenital Clubfoot: Early Recognition and Conservative Management for Preventing Late Disabilities.
Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Congenital clubfoot is one of the most common musculoskeletal deformities presenting at birth. Many high risk factors have been associated with clubfoot such as male gender, primiparous mothers and maternal smoking. Accurate understanding of clubfoot pathoanatomy is supposed to be the basis for deformity correction. Prenatal ultrasonography is of reference value in recognizing clubfoot during pregnancy. Neglected clubfoot can eventually cause a noticeable disability and severely influence the quality life in adulthood. Early recognition and treatment are presumed to be the key for prevention of late disabilities. Nowadays, Ponseti method, as one of the conservative treatment regimen, has been widely accepted because of the reported good results of long-term follow-up. However, special attention should be paid to the details in clinical practice for achieving even better correction and a lower rate of relapse. After the complete correction, brace wearing is critical for preventing deformity relapse. Non-compliance or non-adherence with the brace protocol has been considered as the predominant risk factor predisposing to the relapse of clubfoot, which is still a challenging problem. This paper was prepared to give a general introduction about clubfoot, in terms of the importance of early recognition and conservative management, especially Ponseti method, for preventing late disabilities.
