Spontaneous Resolution of Pediatric Varus Ankle Deformity: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Distal tibia fractures are a common cause of physeal injuries that can subsequently cause deformity in pediatric populations. Limited literature exists supporting treatment strategies for varus deformities. In this study, we illustrate a unique case of premature physeal closure complicated by development of a varus ankle deformity treated with navigation guided physeal bar resection that spontaneously resolved without the requirement for guided growth. Case Report: A 6-year-old female presented to our clinic after development of a right ankle varus deformity measuring 14°. She had sustained a right Salter Harris type 3 distal tibia fracture 10 months prior and underwent fixation at an external facility. After undergoing navigation guided physeal bar resection, resolution of her deformity occurred without the use of guided growth. Conclusion: Spontaneous resolution of an ankle deformity is possible after a physeal bar resection. However, in these technically demanding procedures, it is important to optimize accuracy and results using preoperative bar mapping and intraoperative three-dimensional navigation.
