Surgical Correction of Simple Cutaneous Syndactyly of the Third and Fourth Fingers in a Three-Year-Old Girl: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Syndactyly is a common congenital malformation of the hand, characterized by fusion of adjacent digits. Early surgical correction is recommended to prevent functional limitations and esthetic concerns. We report the case of a three-year-old girl with congenital simple complete cutaneous syndactyly between the third and fourth fingers of the left hand. The fusion was limited to soft tissues, with fully formed and separate fingernails. Surgical separation was performed using interdigital dorsal and palmar Z-plasty incisions, followed by full-thickness skin grafting harvested from the groin donor site. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. At follow-up, the patient demonstrated a normal range of motion, satisfactory esthetic results, and no evidence of web creep or joint stiffness. This case supports the effectiveness and safety of Z-plasty combined with full-thickness skin grafting for the correction of simple syndactyly in early childhood.
