Prenatal Detection of Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD) in Limited Resource Setting: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2026. 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
Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is a rare congenital skeletal malformation characterized by variable underdevelopment of the proximal femur. This report presents a 30-year-old, G4P3+0 woman with a pregnancy complicated by a fetus with left-sided PFFD with breech presentation and small-for-gestational-age features. Delivery was performed by elective cesarean section at 38 weeks showed a female neonate with confirmed unilateral PFFD affecting the left femur, classified as Aitken type D, with no associated congenital anomalies. The parents were referred for pediatric orthopedic, prosthetic, and rehabilitation counselling. This case highlights the importance of meticulous prenatal ultrasonography in detecting rare skeletal anomalies such as PFFD. Even in the absence of advanced imaging, 2D ultrasound can support timely diagnosis, parental counselling, and early multidisciplinary management to improve long-term functional outcomes.
