Guided Growth for the Treatment of Cubitus Varus in Children: Medium- to Long-Term Results.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. 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
Correction of cubitus varus is commonly attempted through supracondylar humeral osteotomy. We hypothesized that lateral distal humeral hemiepiphysiodesis (LDHH) could be used to gradually correct this deformity in children. We conducted a retrospective study including all patients who underwent LDHH with the eight-Plate system between 2008 and 2018, with a minimum 4-year follow-up. We collected demographic, fracture-related, pre- and postoperative clinical (carrying angle (CA), ROM), and radiological data (humeral-ulnar angle (HUA), Baumann angle (BA), shaft-condylar angle (SCA), lateral capitellohumeral angle (LCHA)), as well as data on complications and satisfaction at last follow-up. Fifteen patients were included, with a median follow-up of 81 (64-103) months. All the variables had improved significantly as follows: CA -16 (-18 to -9)°, HUA -16 (-19 to -12)°, BA -11 (-17 to -7)°, SCA 7.5 (3.3 to 13.8)°, LCHA -4.8 (-6.8 to 0.6), flexion 10 (0 to 24)°, and extension 10 (0 to 10)°. The annual correction rate in terms of HUA was 2.41° (1.9 to 3.2). There were 5 cases of aseptic screw loosening, 4 of them requiring replacement, without relation to age at surgery (
