Corrective osteotomy for 111.4-degree tibial procurvatum in osteogenesis imperfecta type III patient: a rare case report with multistage interventions.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder marked by bone fragility and progressive deformity. Type III OI represents a severe form characterized by recurrent fractures, bowing, and significant functional impairment. We report a 17-year-old with type III OI and an extreme 111.4° tibial procurvatum deformity alongside recurrent femoral fractures. His history included multiple intramedullary nailing procedures and revision surgeries. The most recent treatment involved a two-level tibial osteotomy with subsequent cast immobilization, resulting in marked improvement. The Lower Extremity Functional Scale increased from 38/80 preoperatively to 70/80 at follow-up, surpassing the minimal clinically important difference. Severe long bone deformities exceeding 60-90° in OI are uncommon and require individualized, multidisciplinary care. Multilevel osteotomies with intramedullary fixation remain central to correction, though complications persist. This case highlights the complexity of managing extreme tibial deformities in OI and supports multistage reconstruction to restore alignment and function.
