Article in Der Orthopade, 2022. 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
The principals of growth arrest by epiphysiodesis and growth guidance by hemiepiphysiodesis are effective and powerful surgical techniques in pediatric orthopedics. These procedures can be used to correct leg length discrepancies as well as sagittal, coronal and oblique deformities. A differentiation is made between temporary and permanent techniques. The most significant advantage is that these techniques are minimally invasive and have low complication rates compared to acute osteotomy and gradual deformity correction. For optimal outcome an exact preoperative planning is needed to ensure accurate timing of the procedure, especially when permanent epiphysiodesis techniques are used. Although epiphysiodesis and hemiepiphysiodesis around the pediatric knee are most frequently used and can be considered the gold standard treatment of coronal plane deformities and leg length discrepancies, novel techniques for the hip and ankle are increasingly being performed. The successful clinical results with low complications support the broad use of hemiepiphysiodesis and epiphysiodesis for a variety of indications in the growing skeleton with deformities and leg length differences.
