1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Mirror foot is an extremely rare type of foot malformation and is characterized by the duplication of toes and metatarsals around a centrally located hallux toe. It can be part of a generalized congenital dysplasia or an isolated one. The central type is the less frequent form of the mirror foot. Case Report: We present an isolated type of central mirror foot with eight toes, seven metatarsals, and four cuneiforms. The isolated toe was medially located. The child presented no other deformities. Surgical management was performed at the age of 1 year, consisting of central-ray removal, using a dorsal and plantar incision. The approximation of the remaining metatarsals was reinforced using a suture that enwrapped the bones. We achieved an appropriate reduction in the width of the foot. A year after the procedure, the foot had a normal shape. Conclusion: Our manuscript presents the case of a central mirror foot that was treated surgically with adequate restoration of the proximity of the remaining rays.
