Modified partial talectomy followed by tibiotalocalcaneal fusion for neglected clubfoot: a case series and literature review.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. 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
Clubfoot management is complicated, especially in severe cases. Various treatment methods have been introduced, and there is no consensus on the best surgical approach or the best fixation hardware. These case series aim to display the viability of this surgical procedure, despite the short-term follow-up. Three patients with neglected clubfoot were presented. All patients underwent one-stage deformity correction using partial talectomy followed by tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis using a lateral plate. Two patients recovered uneventfully, and one patient needed another surgery because of fixation failure due to a lack of reinforcing fixation. Partial talectomy and tibiotalocalcaneal fusion is a viable option for the treatment of neglected clubfoot considering its various advantages, albeit some possible pitfalls that were also described. This study provided a basis for further studies involving a larger sample of patients and a longer follow-up period.
