How to manage pes cavus in children and adolescents?
Review in EFORT open reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Pes cavus in its different forms is not a pathological entity, but rather the manifestation of multiple diseases.Cavovarus, a form of cavus foot, should never be considered a physiological deformity. A neurological condition should always be excluded.The evolution of pes cavovarus is unpredictable because of the large number of conditions involved in its aetiology, as well as their variable degree of expression. About 66% of cavovarus feet are the result of subtle neurological diseases, which only become evident later in life.Although surgery may not change quality of life, recent studies suggest that it may improve foot posture and reduce walking instability.The aim of treatment is to preserve a painless, plantigrade, mobile foot. Management consists of correcting bone deformity while preserving movement, and the wise use of rebalancing techniques. Arthrodesis should only be a salvage procedure. Cite this article:
