Assessment of awareness and barriers to clubfoot treatment in the Indian scenario.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundWe undertook this study to evaluate the awareness of the Primary Caregivers of children with clubfoot aka Congenital Talipes Equino Varus (CTEV) and their familiarity with the disease, their beliefs, knowledge and compliance to treatment, and barriers encountered during the treatment process. SETTINGS AND
designCross-sectional, analytical study. MATERIALS AND
methodsA standard questionnaire in the local vernacular language was prepared, on which 108 respondents were interviewed. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software program, version 21.0. Chi-square test was applied wherever suitable as a parametric test.
resultsApproximately 57.40% of participants had no prior knowledge of clubfoot at all, till they had a child born of the deformity in the family. Superstitions like lunar eclipse (37.96%), punishment from God (37.03%), solar eclipse (34.26%) and black magic (26.85%) were widely prevalent as the perceived cause of the deformity. Only 25% of the participants believed that any kind of treatment should be started immediately after birth and 20.37% of the study population felt the first line of treatment should be a visit to a spiritual healer or to a shrine of a saint. Approximately 68.52% of the study participants were satisfied with the explanation of the disease process and treatment plan offered by the treating doctor. Approximately 52.77% perceived social stigma as an obstacle to treatment, whereas 58.33% had difficulties adjusting to change of home or workplace routines.
conclusionThe awareness level regarding clubfoot in the primary caregivers in the Indian scenario is low and has an implication on successful treatment and compliance.
