Clinical efficacy of different surgical timing options in the treatment of congenital pediatric polydactyly.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 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
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of different surgical timing options in the treatment of congenital pediatric polydactyly. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 50 children with congenital polydactyly treated surgically in Baoding Hospital, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2020 to December 2023. According to the timing of surgery, they were divided into an early group (observation group, surgery < 3 years old) and a late group (control group, surgery >3 years old). The postoperative primary prognosis, incision healing time, clinical efficacy, satisfaction, and complications were compared between the two groups. Results: Both groups of children achieved primary healing, with a healing rate of 100.00% in both groups (all P>0.05). The postoperative active flexion angle of the interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The number of positive cases in the thumb adduction test and palm opposition test one month and three months postoperatively in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05); however, the positive rates for thumb adduction and palm opposition function reached 100.00% in both groups six months and one year postoperatively (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Surgical intervention for congenital polydactyly in children before the age of three yields more favorable outcomes for postoperative finger shaping and functional recovery, while reducing the incidence of postoperative complications compared to surgery after the age of three.
