Targeted epiphysiodesis using needle arthroscopy.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Epiphysiodesis is performed to either temporarily or permanently close the physis. It is considered in the management of angular deformities or limb length discrepancies. There are various surgical techniques that have been described. The gold-standard remains the mechanical removal of the physis using drills, burrs, and curettes. This requires intraoperative imaging to guide surgery and invariably leads to the mechanical removal of healthy cancellous bone as well as physeal cartilage. We report on a case of 'targeted epiphysiodesis' using needle arthroscopy. In this technique, radiation exposure and unnecessary bone loss is minimal. Epiphysiodesis is achieved under direct vision using a 1.9 mm needle arthroscope with a successful outcome and no surgical complications noted.
