Clinical outcomes of iatrogenic complex clubfoot treated with modified Ponseti method.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionThere are not enough studies demonstrating the results of the modified Ponseti method on iatrogenic complex clubfoot that occurs due to errors during the application of the method for treating idiopathic clubfoot. The present study aimed to present the treatment results of the modified method reported by Ponseti for treating feet that became complex solely due to errors during casting.
methodsPatients with the confirmed diagnosis of iatrogenic complex clubfoot were according to initial physicians' report and photographs were included in this retrospective case series study. Patients with congenital atypical feet, incomplete medical records, and accompanying pathologies were excluded from the study. Patients' clinical data and clinical scores were recorded at the initial visit and at the latest follow-up.
resultsThere were 21 children (15 boys and 8 girls) with 32 complex clubfeet. Initial correction was achieved in all children, with an average of five serial casts (range 3 to 6 casts). At the last follow-up, ISGCF score of 25 feet (78.1%) was excellent and seven feet (21.9) was good.
conclusionAccording to the results acquired from this study, an iatrogenic complex clubfoot can be successfully treated using the modified Ponseti method.
