Surgical Correction of Popliteal Pterygium with Serial Splinting: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Popliteal pterygium syndrome is an extremely rare congenital disorder, with only a few cases reported in the literature. It consists of facial, genitourinary, and musculoskeletal anomalies. A very striking characteristic of this syndrome is the popliteal pterygium contracture, which is considered the most challenging malformation to be corrected. Hence, we report a case of popliteal pterygium contracture in a 30-month-old female child with no family history of popliteal pterygium syndrome. The child was treated successfully with satisfactory results, by combining surgical intervention with postoperative serial splinting. We discuss here the tips and tricks of the surgical approach we performed, which was followed by serial splinting and physiotherapy. In addition, a literature-based review was performed providing a summary of all relevant reported cases.
