Comparison of clinical with CT based evaluation for tibial torsion.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: Tibial torsion is important to be factored in during calculations of angular deformities of the lower extremity. Three methods are commonly used, thigh foot angle, measurement of transmalleolar axis with proximal tibia or knee as a reference, and Computerized tomography. The purpose of the current study was to find out the effectiveness of clinical methods and compare CT based method for tibial torsion. Methods: A total of 68 limbs (34 subjects) were included. Tibial torsion was measured using thigh foot angle, transmalleolar axis in relation to knee forward position (Knee ankle axis) and CT based evaluation using Jend method. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient showed strong correlation between CT values and thigh foot angle (r = 0.848) as well as between CT values and Knee ankle axis (r = 0.889). Scatter plots also showed a linear distribution. Conclusion: Both thigh foot angle and Knee ankle axis provide reliable alternative to ionizing CT in measuring tibial torsion.
