Usual Presentation Has Odds: Unilateral Tibial Hemimelia in One of Dizygotic Twins.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tibial hemimelia is a relatively rare congenital tibial longitudinal deficiency (approximately 1 per 1 million live births), unilateral or bilateral, with a relatively intact fibula. Hemimelia results from a disruption of the lower limb developmental field during embryogenesis due to slow or even abort of chondrification process, which results in leg length discrepancy. Affected leg commonly appears short and deformed with knee, ankle, and foot involvement. It may present with a variety of associated anomalies. Surgical treatment varies according to the type and degree of deformity, and reconstructive interventions are still limited. Reported cases of tibial hemimelia are very infrequent, especially tibial hemimelia in twins. Usually, the cases were in single embryo or less frequently in one of the monozygotic twins, but no reported cases regarding tibial hemimelia in one of the dizygotic twins as this article reports.
