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

The foot and ankle deformities associated with fibular hemimelia are considered the most complex aspect of the disease. The goal of treatment at the end of treatment for fibular hemimelia is a plantigrade foot. The main scope of the treatment before the last decade was amputation, which was thought to be the only option to provide the best functional outcome. Over the last two decades, many procedures have been published with variable outcomes. This article provides a focused review of the foot and ankle aspects of fibular hemimelia, along with multiple surgical options described in the literature and their associated outcomes.
