1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare and challenging pediatric orthopedic disorder that predominantly affects the distal or middle third of the tibia, with involvement of the proximal third being exceedingly rare. Literature on this condition remains limited. This case presents proximal tibial CPT with proximal tibial dysplasia in a 7-year-old male patient with neurofibromatosis type 1. Based on the fundamental treatment principles of CPT, the child underwent pseudarthrosis resection, bone grafting, and internal fixation with a Rush rod combined with a plate. Following the achievement of initial successful union, hemiepiphysiodesis was employed to correct the genu valgus deformity. This case report proposes a hypothesis regarding the formation mechanism of proximal tibial CPT and provides clinical support for the standardized diagnosis and management of CPT.
