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: Frontal plane knee deformities in adolescents and young adults often require corrective osteotomy to realign the mechanical axis. Numerous methods have been described in the literature, but the method of choice continues to be debatable. The purpose of our study was to evaluate outcomes with a novel technique of focal dome osteotomy (FDO). Methods: Our prospective study included 20 adolescents/young adults with lower limb deformities eligible for corrective surgical procedures. These patients underwent an FDO, post which they were evaluated clinically, radiologically, functionally, and cosmetically. Results: 21 distal femur FDOs were performed in 20 patients with frontal plane knee deformities. Clinically, the tibiofemoral angle and the Conclusion: FDO is an effective treatment for frontal plane knee deformities mandating a surgical procedure, in children and young adults. It helps to correct deformity without limb length discrepancies. The novel surgical technique ensured good clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes, along with the advantage of cosmetic superiority over other techniques.
