Affecting Factors and Correction Ratio in Genu Valgum or Varum Treated with Percutaneous Epiphysiodesis Using Transphyseal Screws.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study evaluated the correction rates of idiopathic genu valgum or varum after percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (PETS) and analyzed the affecting factors. A total of 35 children without underlying diseases were enrolled containing 64 physes (44 distal femoral (DT), 20 proximal tibial (PT)). Anatomic tibiofemoral angle (aTFA) and the mechanical axis deviation (MAD) were taken from teleroentgenograms before PETS surgery and screw removal. The correction rates of the valgus and varus deformities for patients treated with PETS were 1.146°/month and 0.639°/month using aTFA while using MAD showed rates of 4.884%/month and 3.094%/month. After aTFA (
