Article in Journal of orthopaedic 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
Introduction: Neonatal Obstetric fractures are rare birth injuries that newborns sustained from trauma during delivery and birth process. Long bone fractures are common in vaginal breech deliveries. A cesarean section is considered a relatively safe and preferred mode of delivery of breech fetuses to prevent birth trauma and decrease the risk of fetal head entrapment; nevertheless, it can lead to femur fracture in newborn rarely. Case Report: A 3915 g male child born at 38 weeks and 4 days of gestation to a primigravida aged 31 years by emergency Lower Segment Cesarean Section for Premature Rupture of Membrane with breech presentation. During extraction, the newborn sustained a fracture to his right femur shaft. X-rays confirmed the diagnosis. The fracture was treated successfully with a toe-groin cast for 25 days with complete healing. Conclusion: As compared to vaginal breech delivery, cesarean section reduces the risk of traumatic birth injuries; however, it does not completely eliminate the possibility of birth injuries and long bone fractures in newborns. Orthopedic opinion must be sought, if the obstetrician and neonatologist suspect any birth trauma in difficult deliveries. Immobilization of the limb leads to complete healing of the fracture without any sequel.
