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
Objective: To explore the surgical technique and effectiveness of limited bone and soft tissue surgery combined with Ilizarov technique in the treatment of adolescents severe cerebral palsy with flattened valgus foot and lower leg external rotation deformity. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 12 patients with severe cerebral palsy with flattened valgus foot and external rotation deformity of the lower leg, totaling 16 feet, admitted between January 2022 and January 2025. There were 5 males with 7 feet and 7 females with 9 feet, the age ranged from 12 to 18 years, with an average of 15 years. There were 10 cases on the left foot, 6 cases on the right foot, and 4 cases on both feet. The preoperative external rotation angle of the lower leg ranged from 20° to 35°, with an average of 26°. The preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 4.9±0.9, the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 68.7±12.0, the calcaneal tilt angle was (12.69±1.78)°, and the hindfoot angle was (18.69±3.55)°. Patients with bilateral lower leg deformities underwent surgery in two phases, with an interval of 3-6 months between surgeries. Select soft tissue surgery (Achilles tendon elongation, release or transposition of joint capsule and ligaments) and bone surgery (joint fusion, calcaneal osteotomy, medial wedge osteotomy, Results: At 2 weeks after operation, the foot deformity of the patient was basically adjusted. All patients were followed up 6-36 months, with an average of 18 months. The incisions healed by first intention without nerve injury, infection, or other complications. At last follow-up, the patients recovered satisfactorily, the osteotomy sites healed, and the external rotation of the lower leg was corrected. The VAS score was 1.2±0.1 and AOFAS score was 86.7±6.8, which were significantly different from those before operation ( Conclusion: The combination of bone and soft tissue limited surgery and Ilizarov technique is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective method for treating severe cerebral palsy in adolescents with flattened valgus foot and external rotation deformity of the lower leg. It conforms to biological principles and follows the concept of natural bone reconstruction.
