A Systematic Review of Digital Deformities in Pediatric Patients and Their Podiatric Treatments.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesDigital deformities in pediatrics are one of the reasons why parents go to podiatry clinics with their children. There is a great diversity of digital alterations in the feet; the origin of the vast majority is genetic. Due to this diversity, different treatments are offered depending on deformity and age, ranging from monitoring progress and changing footwear to deformities that are directly evaluated for surgery. The main objective of this study is to describe and identify the different podiatric digital deformities present in pediatric patients, as well as the most commonly used treatments depending on the deformity.
methodsThis study is a bibliographic review that has been carried out after using different search equations and applying a series of inclusion and exclusion criteria, obtaining a total of 10 articles (N = 10).
resultsA total of 50% of the studies belong to samples where the authors affirm that surgical treatment is the most appropriate in deformities such as polydactyly and macrodactyly, treated in the first months of life. Half of the studies reviewed were clinical studies with a sample, and the other half were bibliographic reviews.
conclusionsClinodactyly, syndactyly, and macrodactyly are the most frequent deformities, with the first, second, and third toes being the most affected.
