Fetal fibular hemimelia with focal femoral deficiency: A case report.
Article in Turkish journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Fibular hemimelia (FH) is a congenital deficiency in which a part or all of the fibular bone is hypoplastic or aplastic and associated with hypoplastic tibia and foot anomalies. The main differential diagnoses include proximal focal femoral dysplasia, Femur-Fibula-Ulna syndrome, and Femoral Hypoplasia-Unusual Facies syndrome. Proximal focal femoral dysplasia, which has a short, angulated femur with normal mineralization may be associated with FH. We report a case of unilateral FH with focal femoral deficiency detected at 18 weeks of gestation during a routine ultrasonographic anatomic screening. Sonographic findings were a unilateral short femur (1.8 cm, 3 weeks shorter than expected for gestational weeks), agenesis of ipsilateral fibula and angulation of ipsilateral tibial shaft. During a routine ultrasonographic anatomic scan, all the long bones are carefully measured and evaluated. Long bone shortness can be a part of syndrome or an isolated finding.
