Comparative study of the outcome of McKay surgery with and without pin in clubfoot patients.

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
backgroundClubfoot is one of the most common foot deformities in children. Surgical treatment is the only choice for patients who have failed conservative treatment. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have been done to compare the McKay surgery with a pin versus without a pin. Our study aimed to compare the outcomes of McKay surgery with and without pins in clubfoot patients.
methodThis study is an analytical study. The sample size included patients referred to Imam Reza Hospital from 2016 to 2018. Children who did not respond to plaster therapy were under McKay surgery. In this study, patients were divided into two groups of 50 patients. In the first group, after ligament release and tendon extension, a pin was used to maintain the direction of the talonavicular joint. In the second group, no pin was used. Every six months, radiographs were taken of the patients to monitor their progress. After collecting the study data, they were entered into SPSS software (version 25, IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY) and analyzed.
resultThe mean age of patients was 5.36±2.07 months. Of these, 79 were boys and 21 girls, most of the subjects were aged 4-6 months, and 24% had unilateral one-way clubs. The severity of the disease was 7 feet in grade 2 (moderate) and 93 feet in grade 3 (severe). There was a significant relationship between age, outcome and type of complications with surgical type.
conclusionFinally, it can be concluded that McKay surgery (both with and without a pin) is exceptionally effective at treating clubfoot.
