A Case of Postaxial Polydactyly Managed Under Local Anesthesia.

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
Polydactyly is a common occurrence, observed as the presence of extra digit/s in the hands and feet. It can be categorized into preaxial, postaxial, and mesoaxial forms based on the location of the additional digit. In most instances only a single extra digit is present, research reports with more than one extra digit have been published. Most common management includes surgical excision under the influence of general anesthesia. An alternative approach by removing the pre-axial and post-axial supernumerary digit is carried out under local anesthesia in infants and small children, providing the additional benefit of fewer post-procedural complications. This is a case of a 5-month-old male child, with post-axial polydactyly of the left hand. He was managed by excision of the extra digit under the influence of local anesthesia. The patient recovered well and was discharged 3 days after the procedure with the advice of monthly follow-up until 3 months.
