Correction of lower limb deformities in children with renal osteodystrophy by guided growth technique.

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
purposeRenal osteodystrophy (ROD) may cause severe lower limb deformities in children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the temporary hemiepiphysiodesis for the correction of lower limb deformities in children with ROD.
methodsGuided growth correction by hemiepiphysiodesis has been performed in skeletally immature patients with deformities of the lower limbs caused by ROD. The correction of the mechanical axes of the lower limbs and its correction speed have been evaluated.
resultsA total of seven patients with ROD, five males and two females, were treated with the above technique. The average age of the patients at their first surgery was 7.8 years (2.9 to 13.6). The average follow-up time 5.2 years (2.3 to 8). There were 13 valgus deformities and one varus deformity of the knee. The measure of the lower limb angular deformity was in the range of 10° to 47°. Restoration of normal mechanical axis was achieved in all patients at the final follow-up. Three patients relapsed and required further hemiepiphysiodesis. The average time for correction was 20 months (7 to 30). The average speed of correction was 0.49° per month for a tibia and 1.73° per month for a femur. There were two minor complications: a screw mobilisation and a screw breakage occurred during removal.
conclusionGuided growth technique by hemiepiphysiodesis is a mini-invasive surgical procedure that has been found to be effective for the correction of misalignment due to ROD in skeletally immature patients. The method has allowed progressive correction of the deformities at any age in childhood. These patients are predisposed to relapse to their deformities, thus a strict follow-up is required.
