Quantitative Analysis of Barriers to Clubfoot Treatment Experienced at a Tertiary Care Institute in India.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionThe Ponseti method of treating clubfeet is considered the gold standard. However, there are specific barriers to implementing the Ponseti method for clubfoot treatment, especially in developing countries like India.
methodsThis is a retrospective study on patients who underwent the Ponseti method for clubfoot treatment at a tertiary care hospital in India. A total of 110 patients were enrolled for this study and were interviewed at the initiation of treatment and at each follow-up to identify the barriers, and their correlation to dropout rate was analyzed.
resultsOn applying binary logistic regression, which shows the cumulative effect of all variables, the effect of the parent accompanying the patient was significant on compliance and dropout rate.
conclusionInformed parents play a significant role in compliance with the treatment. The study results can help formulate an action plan to improve adherence to the Ponseti method for treating clubfoot throughout India and other developing countries.
