Congenital and Bilateral Dislocation of the Knee: Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2022. 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
Background: Congenital and bilateral dislocation of the knee is an uncommon disorder; it may be isolated or combined with other congenital muscoloskeletal disorders, associated with neurologic disorders or occur in syndromic conditions. The knee presents a typical pathologic hyperextension, with or without joint dislocation. If untreated, the knee may develop stiffness or instability. Case Summary: We report about a new-born baby girl presented at birth with an unusual position of both lower limbs with obvious hyperextended knees. Starting from the first hours of life, this baby was treated conservatively with reduction and serial cast immobilizations of the limbs. At the end of the treatment (21 days of life), the knees appeared completely corrected with physiologic active and passive range of motion and joint stability, and they were left free. Conclusion: A correct evaluation at birth, both of the newborn and the deformity, is mandatory in order to decide the proper treatment, that could be conservative or surgical. A prompt treatment can be very effective to completely resolve the problem.
