Application of computer simulation in the treatment of traumatic cubitus varus deformity in children.
Observational study in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Cubitus varus deformity is common in children. The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of computer simulation based on three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) reconstruction with regard to preoperative planning and surgical treatment in children with traumatic cubitus varus deformity.The study included 13 patients with traumatic cubitus varus deformity between January 2012 and January 2015. The original 3D-CT data were transferred to Mimics 10.01 software. Special tools were used for simulation of supracondylar lateral wedge osteotomy of the humerus. Intraoperative elbow arthrography was used to identify the articular surface of the elbow joint for assisting the judgment of the osteotomy site. Kirschner wires were used to determine the osteotomy plane and angle. The osteotomy site was fixed by crossing Kirschner wires and steel wire tension band.Of the 13 patients, 11 were male and 2 were female. The left side was affected in 8 patients, and the right side was affected in 5 patients. The patient age ranged from 2 years to 14 years (mean age, 6 years and 7 months). The varus angle ranged from 12° to 35° (mean angle, 20°). The carrying angle on the contralateral side ranged from 5° to 18° (mean angle, 10°). The varus deformities showed good correction. The 13 patients were followed up for 24 to 60 months (mean follow-up, 38 months). According to the Flynn score of elbow joint function after surgery: 10 patients had excellent function, 2 had good function, and 1 had fair function. The excellent rate was 92.3%. At the final follow-up, the ipsilateral carrying angle ranged from 4° to 15° (mean angle, 11°).Computer simulation based on 3D-CT reconstruction can provide good information on the right humeral osteotomy position and osteotomy angle. It can guide the actual operation and provide better results after surgery. Intraoperative elbow arthrography is useful to determine the level of elbow joint osteotomy, and it can assist in the operation.Level of evidence: Level IV-retrospective case, treatment study.
