Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. 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
backgroundCongenital femoral deficiency (CFD) is a challenging and complex condition that causes limb lengthening. We focused on the clinical and radiographic results of
methodsWe reviewed all records and radiographs of patients who underwent this procedure between 2005 and 2020. We included 26 patients, with clinical and radiographic assessments performed during pre- and post-operative evaluations.
resultsThere were twenty-six patients (15 right vs. 11 left), with a mean age of 7 years (1-18). Most of the patients were female (17 patients; 65.4%). Twenty (76.9%) patients were undergoing their first procedure and six (23.1%) had already undergone a previous surgery. There was a significant improvement in all radiographic parameters, with the mean preoperative and postoperative Neck-Shaft Angle (NSA) being 72.3 ± 7.1° vs. 133.1 ± 12.7°, the Center-Edge Angle (CEA) 16.8 ± 9.8° vs. 33.5 ± 14.1°, and the Acetabular Index (AI) 27.8 ± 6.9° vs. 16.4 ± 6.8°, respectively. The complication rate was 15.4%, predominantly affecting patients under 5 years old.
