Delayed ossification and abnormal development of tarsal bones in idiopathic clubfoot: should it affect bracing protocol when using the Ponseti method?
Article in Journal of children's orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo point out the need to take into account the dysplastic nature of tarsal bones when treating idiopathic clubfoot (CF).
methodsReview the published evidence on the developmental abnormalities of tarsal bones in idiopathic CF.
resultsThe literature review provides abundant proof of the existence of delayed appearance and slower development of ossification centres of tarsal bones in idiopathic clubfoot.
conclusionGentle manipulations and casting are the cornerstone of the Ponseti method. The biological response of all foot elements is critical for a successful outcome. Delayed ossification and abnormal development of tarsal bones in idiopathic CF may affect the results. Development of a personalized tailored bracing protocol based on severity assessment and response to casting treatment will improve results and quality of care in CF management. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.
