Anthropometric measurements in Ponseti treated clubfeet.
Article in SICOT-J, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05456737 (Investigation of Ankle-Foot Characteristics, Balance, Funtional Activity and Quality of Life in Children With Idiopatic Pes Equinovarus), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
introductionWe measured the foot dimensions in the Ponseti treated idiopathic clubfeet to compare differences in foot sizes, if any. PATIENT AND
methodsThe foot length and width in unaffected, unilateral and bilateral clubfeet were measured and analysed statistically.
resultsAverage follow up was 22.2 months. Bilateral feet were similar in size. The unilateral affected feet matched in size with contralateral unaffected feet. The size difference between bilateral and unilateral affected feet was not significant. The bilateral feet were significantly smaller than age matched unaffected feet [in length 0.8 cm (6.1%); p = 0.03 and in width 0.2 cm, (3.7%); p = 0.03]. The unilateral foot was comparable with contralateral unaffected foot both during and post bracing.
conclusionsPost Ponseti treatment, inter bilateral, unilateral affected versus unaffected, bilateral versus unilateral affected feet matched in size. The overall clubfeet size especially those with bilateral disease were significantly shorter than unaffected side. The Ponseti managed unilateral foot size was comparable with unaffected foot during the bracing duration and size comparability was maintained even after bracing protocol of 3 years was over.
