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

objectivePain-free, plantigrade, functional foot through gentle manipulation without extended surgery and with decreased probability of relapse. INDICATIONS: Idiopathic clubfoot; neurogenic and secondary clubfeet. CONTRAINDICATIONS: None. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Simultaneous correction of all components of the clubfoot. Mainly conservative, with serial casts. Slight supination to address the cavus and increasing abduction to align the midfoot bones while putting counter-pressure on the head of the talus. Surgery primarily only to correct the equinus, which can often not be accomplished through casting, and consists of a simple subcutaneous section. Due to tendency to relapse, further surgery might be necessary, followed by serial casting. Remaining deformity can be treated by percutaneous lengthening of the Achilles tendon, percutaneous release of the plantar fascia or a transfer of the tibialis anterior tendon to the third cuneiform. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Abduction orthosis for stabilization of the clinical result 24 h/day for 3 months, then only at night- and naptime through end of the third year of life. Follow-up every 3-4 months.
